I will post something tomorrow.
By the way I understood "it is oriole's to lose" perfectly. That is because I am below the 49th parallel. Quite a bit of our country is below the 49th!

  For today's offering, I have an Arizona territory centennial medal from my silver exonumia collection. It is rich in symbolism, perhaps even a little too busy, but that makes it ideal for my purpose. Points will be awarded for each symbol and word matched. One point per match. These are the symbols/ words to be matched: 1. "Arizona" 2. "Territorial" 3. "Centennial" 4. "1863" 5. "1963" 6. Bird 7. Cactus 8. Flower 9. Stars 10. Sun 11. Person (whole person, not just a bust) 12. Pick 13. Shovel 14. Mountains 15. Cow (this looks like a cow but any large four legged animal is OK) 16. Latin motto (Does not have to be "ditat deus") Closing is 8 pm on April 1 if someone does not have a match, I would be very interested to see what does win.

I can't possibly have stumped all of you. The Arizona quarter will give you 4 points.

Had thought I used this one before, must have been the other game. 1969 Uruguay 1000 Pesos KM#55 Obv: Stylized Sun w/face Rev: various stylized designs   Human figure Bird Cow Sun Latin inscription And whatever else those designs are? I think the center on reverse is of crops and mountains, a plant sprig? is right center and the squiggles usually depict waves or earth contours. Any Points I have no idea. there's a lizard, arrow and paddle, plus an IDK in upper right.

I'll see if I can drum up something.  Quote: It is oriole's to lose. For the record, I understood what you meant just fine.
