 Interesting challenge indeed! Hold on, I need to put new batteries in my calculator for this one. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

I'll set the bar a little higher, but as I've learned before, there is usually one with a better score. Rev: 1881 Adelaide Industrial Exhibition Obv: Lord's prayer.   A = 26 x 1 = 26 E = 33 x 5 = 165 I = 25 x 9 = 225 O = 23 x 15 = 345 U = 9 x 21 = 189 Roman Numeral I's = 2 x 9 = 18 Date = 1 + 8 + 8 + 1 = 18 Total points = 986 The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Point of clarification: "Show any coin" - medals and tokens included?

I was wanting to keep it as coins, but yes that should be OK.

Sorry, in Australia we don't do math, we do maths.
Actually I would do yours, but my eyes are hurting just trying to read it.
