So, the way I understand it; the country of issue is Rhodesia & Nyasaland.

If that's not the case, disregard the following question:

If that is the case, is it a 2 Shilling?

That's what I'm thinking.
But I was thinking 1/2 Penny or Penny

Wait and see I guess

Yes, it is a 2 shilling coin from Rhodesia and Nyasaland, which shows an eagle with a fish in its talons on the reverse. I think the other coins all show types of animals which are not native to North America.

That was question 14.

I was just responding to joecoin's question about denomination.
I also thought that getting the country was hard enough that I would give a clue on denomination.... maybe I should have been more subtle.

No, it is not a 1956.

Ok down to a 50/50 guess I think: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20391.html


Is it a 1957 2 Schilling from Rhodesia and Nyasaland?

Hmm... let me think about this for a sec.

WE HAVE A WINNER!
What attracted me to this coin was the reverse, which looks to me like a few minutes after our Standing Liberty quarter's eagle spots his dinner in a river.

By the way, the winner is the illustrious joecoin. I can think of no one more deserving of the title.

I was going to guess 1957, as ti holds a special place in my heart. but Spence beat me to it.

Here's my Rhodesia/ Nyasaland specimen, two elephants fighting over a doughnut:
