Hello, I think this is the coin that I can get the maximum amount of points according to the criteria. Germany- Federal Republic 1973 2 Deutsche Mark Konrad Adenauer Obverse bears a portrait of Konrad Adenauer. The first German chancellor from 1949 to 1963. Dates 1949-1969 represent the 20th Anniversary of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany. 1 point for Commemorative coin (circulating) 1 point for celebrating 20th anniversary 1 point for celebrating the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany.   *Edit Reverse features Konrad Adenauer

A commemorative coin challenge? Guess I need to look through my Canadian stuff!  Here is a Canadian 10 cent piece from 2017, which is commemorating the 150th anniversary of Canada's confederation:

All I have for points would be a commemorative and I have already posted the two photos that I have.

I'm not sure if I miscounted any points; besides, the winner is obvious anyway. I still want to post a full ranking, though...
Dorado - 2.5 points, I think pepactonius - 2.5 points, but awesome coin, I hoped to see one of those this round Canadian coins - 3 points, and I expected to see one of those too Joseph7420 - 2.5 points oriole - 7 points, exact match! Arkie #1 - 3 points Arkie #2 - 3 points, and yes, it's Moscow mint bd251 - 2 points
@oriole, you're the winner this round! ...where did I put that baton again?
Surprisingly not seen: any 10 ruble commemoratives (other than the match).

  I am once again honoured to be the winner. So I have chosen something completely different. This is a recent purchase from my LCS. Whoever bought it originally paid 35 cents. I paid less. Here we have an example of "moon money". Crazy though it may seem, this is actually listed in Krause "Unusual world coins", as x#1, the only one "issued" from the moon. It is listed in numista. That catalogue states that it was issued in 1969, rather obviously inspired by the landing of the first man on the moon. Non English speakers may be interested to know that the Cow jumping over the moon is a reference to an English nursery rhyme. One points will be awarded for each of the words and images on this item are on your numismatic item, whether a coin or a medal or a token. A maximum of 8 is possible. 1. Moon (picture or word) 2. Lunar Lander (picture or word) 3. Cow (picture or word) 4. Stars (picture or word) 5. Green (word, or something which is normally green like a plant, or the actual colour on a colourised coin) 6. Cheese (picture or word) 7. Money (picture or word or a standard symbol like $, etc.) 8. Penny (picture or word, or if the coin is actually a penny) Bonus point: for the first person who can tell me who manufactured this. I have not been able to find out.

With a star and a moon, I think two points is the most I can get this round:

@joseph7420, the olive sprig is green in real life, so you get 3 points, according to my rules!
