1911 Maundy Twopence

I really like this one. Nice eye appeal and good pictures.

AFAIK this William III fourpence would fall under the "same design" exemption...

Correct

@bd251.....that is a very nice Maundy set you have there.

Thanks! It's one of my favorite pieces in my collection. I went with an Edward VII set so I could include it with my Edward VII UK type set. It was sad how many cleaned and polished sets I saw while looking for this one . Before 1909, back to sometime early in Victoria's reign, pretty much anyone who wanted to could purchase a set. I think mine may be one such set, as Maundy recipients received theirs in leather pouches.

Go fish.

Sorry for the delay. Tie breaker goes to @ttkoo for closes match. Since all entries were a single denomination, the closest date was used to determine closest match.

Ok,
What coin of yours has the most words on it?
for the purposes of this contest, the object can be a coin, token, medallion medal etc.

1. Count on both sides, including the date.
2. Note if the date is in numerals, count each numeral as a word. If the date is in Roman numerals, count each character as a word.

1 point for each word.
plus
10 points for a gold coin
5 points for a silver coin
3 points for a coin of other metal

My example is an 1881 Adelaide Industrial Exhibition Medallion (sterling silver) 19mm which, including the date and the Lords Prayer plus the Minor Doxology, would give me 78 words. Add on 5 points for silver and my score is 83.

3 days of contest. Time starts NOW

Wish I hadn't sold my 2014 Aussie $10 coin with the 100 Victoria Cross medal recipients.

I think 34 + 3 = 37 points... if I did correctly.

No matter, it is participation as 37 < 67.

If I calculated correctly: 41 "words" on the obverse, 13 "words" on the reverse. Total: 54.
