My guess is that Miss Kitty will get it right :)
-
Exactly, a job for Kitty ;D ...that Lion looks familiar, but I can't place it yet.
-
Wow, you guys are expecting a lot out of me!
It does look familiar, but so far I haven't been able to place it either.
-
Taught that i didn't have to post any clues...
- That's a XXth century coin...

Kitty, lol...well, if anyone could get this right, I'd bet on you!
I'll flip pages through Krause this evening...I only have wild guesses at this moment.
-
I'm STILL searching ....... have been right through my Krause catalogue (but I think it's an abridged version) without any luck!
-
I don't have a catalogue, but I've had a good look in Don's Coin World and haven't found it yet.
-
No luck for me yet, either. :-\
-
This is a hard one, no doubt. :(
-
I've had a good look in Don's Coin World and haven't found it yet.
I've been trying that one as well!!!!!
-
...OK, time for more clues ;D:
Ask yourself:
- Which countries have a lion in their arms?
- Which country i am from?
Note also that my second post in this thread actually has two clues.
...and the coin is definitely on Don's website.
Good luck,
Jose

Portugal 1000 REIS - 1910 (MAYBE OTHER YEARS AS WELL)
-
... of 1910 at that
-
Portugal 1000 REIS
Portugal was the first country I checked, LOL...now I see it in Krause, but just barely. ;D
Congrats Nancy!
-
yeah, the picture in Krause is pretty washed out. :( Hard to see, and certainly not a major design element!
Congratulations on a mind-boggling contest, josemartins. :D
-
Here it is ;D :

The two coin set (500 and 1000 Reis) isn't very popular but i like it.
Congrats Nancy! Thanks for participating, just PM me the address you want me to send the 2.5 Euro coin.

Congratulations Nancy! ..... and thanks for the contest, Josemartins - enjoyed the search ...... even if I did totally overlook the coin!
-
I also checked Portugal, but did not find it on Don's website.
I took the XX in Josemartins first clue as an indication that
it might be Portugal, as this is how they show 20 on there coins.
-
Jose, My prize arrived today. ;D Thank you very much. 8)
My total count of coins from Portugal just quadrupled. I had one, now I have 4. :)
I received the 2008 Beijing 2.5 € plus a 1917 4 centavos, and a 1981 25 Escudos. ;D
-
Don't stop at four, Nancy.
Portugal coins are among my favourites, especially the 50 centavos.

Don't now what it is about them, but I just love them.
-
Glad you like them Nancy :), altough your portuguese coin collection only tripled because that 25 Escudos was actually issued for the Madeira Islands.
