So we have a European coin dated between 1875 and 1900.

As the game moves on, the questions are getting more refined. Should we go the Monarchy route, or geographic location? I still got a hunch the coin will be silver.

Edit: Spence, that was fast. . I'm thinking somewhere on the Med.

That leaves us with 33 coin types from some non-circulating pennies (Maundy Isues) up to the British Trade dollar. 18 of these are less than 20mm, and 15 are greater than 20mm.

Is the coin diameter less than 20 mm?
