Interesting question.
Jesus was thought to be born 4 - 6 year BC (go figure).
Turning water into wine at about the age of about 30, so I suppose the year would have been 25 + or - 1.

I think a yes to that question would narrow it down to two ancient coins...

Something strange happened, when playing around with the search silver vs billon (not saying my coin is one or the other, for you to find out ) leads to one result having my coin come up, the other result my coin does not come up in the search results
Me thought either one would bring up my coin equally...

So much for your weight watching narrowing down the options

we've suddenly gone from about 100 to over 2000 coin types

If GM makes a mistake and doesn't realise it until 8 questions later maybe they should switch coins to something that matches the original answer they gave.
