Maybe these useless Canadian commemoratives aren't as useless as I thought.  I am not sure if every date would count, but here is one of the War of 1812 commemorative quarters Canada released:   There are ten dates that are visible (green), one that is horizontally cut in half and one that has three digits visible (blue), four that have two digit visible (purple), and one that has one digit visible (red). So... technically there are seventeen dates on this coin, but there are only ten that are not cut off by something else. |

Strong work @joseph7420! I'm glad to see you breaking out the Canadian commemoratives. This is exactly what I was working for, and I'm thinking that you have really set the bar pretty high. I wonder if we are now in a race for second place or if there is a different coin with even more dates on it.

Thanks for the input @crazyb0. Are you questioning the authenticity of this coin or whether the animal on the obv is a lion? For reference, here is what Elio Biaggi wrote about the obv: Quote:
testa di leone occupante il campo At least according to Google Translate, I get "lion head occupying the field" in english. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Ok have looked through enough of my coins to conclude that I don't have anything with more than two years on it. I did find several tokens with three years listed. Here is one of mine from Lyon France that has 1986, 2011, and 2012 for a score of three.   @pepactonius has a score of five--can anyone else beat my three? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

The best I can do with a coin is three points. I have several, but this is probably the most unique and the only one I have pictures of:  I haven't looked at tokens yet. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

War of 1812 Collector Set. I say that is at least four commemoratives too many!  And due to my completionist nature, I have all of them!  |

I have many with dual dates, a few with three, but this One Pound from Egypt depicting the Al Azhar Mosque with the dates of 1359-1361AH - 1970-1972AD for four points. Should have put a stipulation to have DIFFERENT dates...  |
