Holey Moley!

Was going to ask if the coin had a hole, then realised only one coin didn't so I guessed it.

Oops, I stuffed up in my hurry to post that question.

I meant to ask if the weight was 10g or more.
Not sure that question is relevant any more.


Silly me.

Hint, think of some island/islands somewhere in the Pacific Ocean, closer to China than you might think.

It might be a little surprising once you figure it out, and hopefully that might be all the clues you need for the last few questions...

16.) Was George VI king of England on January 1st of the year the coin was issued? (Fancy way of saying 1937 or later) No

Now the date range is anywhere from 1922-1937 inclusive...

No, not at all, thanks Keith!

Was a tad surprised that a geography question had not been asked yet

Oh Keith, it looks as if East Africa is not in the Pacific to my knowledge

Q14 and nickel... (either nickel or copper-nickel)

Based on that, it can't be my coin

I was thinking you would be asking a question, and 4 more to go...

Oh trig, it looks as if Israel is also not in the Pacific to my knowledge Based on that, it also can't be my coin

It is indeed a circulation coin, but from a very specific area... It is on Numista of course...

To NumisEd, 1st question has been answered as a no...

17.) Is the date of issue an odd year? No, it is even dated...
