Would the country of issue be the State of Israel?

Nope. The hint referred to something on the coin. 10/20
More then half way there, and you have barely scratched the surface.

OK, I'll bite.
Is this coin from a Spanish speaking country?
Cause as best I can tell, there are only one or two outside the western hemisphere.

No. Hint!! One of the languages spoken in this country is French. You needed the help. 11/20, and not going well...

Well, let's see.
In Europe we have Belgium, nearby Luxembourg, and Switzerland with multiple official languages, one of which is French.
And with many common pre-1900 coins.
Maybe Andorra, but that's too obscure.
Time go looking at designers'/engravers' names, I suppose.

Not a yes/no question for the gamemaster, but a clarification of his most recent question:
We are assuming you mean this a country with multiple official languages, one of which is French.
Otherwise it's not much of a hint since French is spoken everywhere.

Yes. That was another freebie, otherwise you might not win

I was starting to doubt my logic since I don't see Luchos on the pre-1900 coins of any of those three countries in their current incarnations (i.e. Belgium since 1832, Switzerland since 1850). Maybe we need to go farther back, like to the Swiss cantons.

No dice on Luxembourg or Lucerne ... though some Geneva coins have LUX  I need you guys to check my logic ... trying to avoid any mistake narrowing things down too much. I also thought about Lebanon (did not exist before 1900), Morocco (did not have any legends except in Arabic before 1900 as best I can tell). There would have been African colonies, too... But my gut tells me it's not that far flung. Edited by tdziemia

as a name for boys has the meaning "famous warrior". Lucho is an alternate spelling of Louis (French, Old German).

Luchos. Think about my religion. Think about what that religious article look like. You are on COMPLETELY the wrong path

I guess I'm not ecumenical enough. I had no idea what luchos meant, so I was looking for that in a word or name on a coin, since it was capitalized when it was posted.
Thanks for the clue about the clue.
Plenty of 19th century Belgian coins show a lion holding a tablet. Maybe that's where we are headed.

Well, I don't know enough about Judaism to know if tablets is a reasonable interpretation, or if it's supposed to be more like scrolls ... I'll just zip it for a while and let others move us towards our inevitable victory  . |
