Ok, you guys are making my head spin. LOL. The next thing you know you'll be posting a coin from Zamunda. . (Hint: Eddie Murphy)

On the serious side, thanks for the geography lessons. I have been wondering; did you know of these more obscure countries/regions first and search for the coin or learn of the countries/regions due to finding the coin?

Liag, some of both. Playing this game makes me look at maps closely, and I look up unfamiliar countries to see if they have minted coins. Also, when someone posts a coin from an unusual location I try to obtain one.

I agree here, and that is probably why Hondo and myself are playing the same coins a lot of the times.

and wow, Hondo - that was a long trip from my island to yours.

jbuck, it is - 28.15 g, 38.8 mm - CuNi. There's no Numista listing for it, however.

So gather up what info you can find on that coin and submit it to Numista - I have had to add a few coin already and have them make a few changes as well.

How long does it take for Numista to accept an addition?
