I have problem with question one, becauase I don know exactly who is in British monarchy. I think that here are Elizabeth II, George VI, George V and I try to find someone. Yes , now I found also Queen Vicotria on note from 5 Shillings an 1 pound 1870s

Just give me the number of British monarchs (Kings and Queens) that have appeared on the banknotes issued by the Bahamas.

Four is the correct answer Erik, congratulations.

You have won an Australian Silver 1966 round fifty cent coin in UNCIRCULATED condition.

1966 was the only round silver 50 cent coin issued in Australia they then issued a 12 sided 50 cent coin.
The original, round, 50c coin was made of 80% silver and 20% copper; but as the value of a free-floating silver price became higher, the coin's bullion value became more valuable than its face value; so that version was withdrawn from circulation and replaced with the dodecagonal cupro-nickel version.

If you already have one, let me know and I will find something else for you.

Thank you my uncle for your words. I would like to have so nice teachers as you in school.
I think very good days are going for me because I a few months ago dont put any coins to my collection. I only got a few ordinary coins on my birthday. Now I will wait some wins and some suprise. I am very happy and Knights in our Castle are going many happy days.
Please, if you send me something you keep shipping was the cheapest. Does not matter if I receive it a few weeks later  :)
