Welcome to number 2. Slightly different this time. I have thought of three different formats for this idea, so I will rotate them.

This one is cryptic, with clues below.


The rest is the same standard mumbo jumbo as before

You can ask questions, but I may not answer if it will directly give the coin away. However, so this doesn't take until next Christmas, if you ask a general question about the coin, eg. Is it from Australia? I will answer yes or no. If we start to get too far off track, I will add some clues.

To be eligible to enter the contest, you must have 50 posts.

I will post a picture of the coin when it is correctly identified.


Here are the clues.

I am an iconic figure to my Country.

I am the first of my kind.

I am special, and yet I am not.

I was born free, yet imprisoned at the same time.

I have a twin, but we were not born together.

Before my twin was born, it was discovered that not all of us were the same.

Who am I?

great minds think alike so I will take a wild stab in the dark just based on your riddle.

My coin guess is the "Fugio"

We moderators are discouraged from entering contests, because it would be too easy to abuse our moderator superpowers. However, I can still ask questions if it helps get folks closer to an answer.

Well, is it?
