CLarification from the gamemaster is humbly sought (thereby avoiding question #4).
I attempted asking a question based on continents (North & South AMerica = Western Hemisphere; all else = Eastern Hemisphere).
However, I take your answer to be based on longitude definitions of the hemispheres. meaning that the country of your coin is partially east of the Prime Meridian, and partially west.

Is this country part of the European mainland?

This is not a question, but food for thought: it is most likely that the country straddles the Prime Meridian. In that case, Gincoin's question will help clarify which continent it comes from: Europe or Africa.
As far as I can tell, the antimeridian (180°) passes through only two coin-issuing countries: Russia and Fiji.

1. This coin dates to after AD 1600.
2. This coin was issued by a monarchy.
3. This coin was issued by a country that is partly in the Eastern Hemisphere and partly in the Western Hemisphere.
4. The country that issued this coin is not part of the European mainland.
5. This coin dates to after AD 1700.
Hint #1: this coin was issued by one country for use elsewhere.

This means that the United States also lies in both hemispheres. Though I now think we are talking about a coin of the UK, or struck in the UK. These first geography questions are a pain in the neck because of these things. Almost as bad as the "minted by" vs "issued by" confusion  Edited by tdziemia

HI guys,
Back now after some family business,
Thanks for the mentions @loonielewy and @James Hicks!
Spence,
Is this coin minted for circulation in a landlocked country?
