OK, I'm having a senior's moment. Am having trouble picking the date on this coin.

If you could annotate an image showing where the date characters are located would also be fab. Thanks

I'm no expert, but from what I understand from a Krause catalogue:

On the side with the flower in the center (your second image, Albert's first image):

Starting at 1 o'clock and going clockwise:
The first two groups translate as "cycle".
At 4 o'clock: 15
At 6 o'clock: year
At 7 o'clock: 50

Thus cycle 15, year 50, so 1916.

If anyone knows better, please feel free to correct.

Thanks BCTokens! On closer examination I could make out the numbers you are referring to!
