I deleted it because my logic was backwards. However, this tidbit is still somewhat relevant: Quote:
A popular (but untrue) bit of Hollywood lore is that Woodward was the first celebrity to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In fact, the original 1,550 stars were created and installed as a unit in 1960; no one star was officially "first". The first star actually completed was director Stanley Kramer's. The origin of this legend is not known with certainty, but according to Johnny Grant, the long-time Honorary Mayor of Hollywood, Woodward was the first celebrity to agree to pose with her star for photographers, and therefore was singled out in the collective public imagination as the first awardee. So 1931-1960, right? In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Woodward's name was one of eight drawn at random from the original 1,558 and inscribed on eight prototype stars that were built while litigation was still holding up permanent construction.[27][28][29] The eight prototypes were installed temporarily on the northwest corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue in August 1958 to generate publicity and to demonstrate how the Walk would eventually look.[15] The other seven names were Olive Borden, Ronald Colman, Louise Fazenda, Preston Foster, Burt Lancaster, Edward Sedgwick, and Ernest Torrence.[15][30] Here is another tidbit, from this page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hol...Walk_of_Fame |

"From the Americas" makes it one of them there funny coins, like the Philippines coins struck at the US Mints. Or a gigantic number of Spanish empire coins struck at many mints throughout South and Central America.

I don't find it odd for an empire to mint its colonies coins.

Not sure what you mean by "Where are the states in this?"
So I'll ask, is this coin an issue of the French Empire?

This coin is in no way French, and the chair was not a clue of any sort.
