Do you want to play a game?

I’ve been collecting world coin for a while now, the app I use (Maktun) states I have 3957 coins from 347 countries. At this point there’s a few countries over the last few hundred years that I know I don’t have, but that’s about it. I’d like to, politely, challenge this community to try and name a country from the last 300 years to see if I can expand my potential collection.

If you name I country and I have it, I post a picture of what I have (when I can… can’t be posting 24/7, sorry)
If you name a country I don’t have, you have my everlasting thanks, maybe an award, idk.. bonus fictional points if you include a picture…

Rules of the game:
Restricted to the last 300 years (1726 at the time of posting)

Has to have produced coinage (no tokens, medals but numismatic collectible only still counts)

Has to have a verifiable KM#

Various individual German states don’t count. I know, I know, but… most catalogues lump German states as one entity. Unless it’s a really cool looking/historically remarkable, but not $$$$ example. I know this will be a point of contention but some jurisdictions shared/honored other jurisdictional coinage, and I’m just not in a place to go down that swirling rabbit hole right now. (However, strong advocations still entertained)

Ready… Set… Go…

Aloha mai kākou!

Just wanted to share my Hawaii set with the community, hope you enjoy! 1C - 1 Dala, plus a few bonus tokens I picked up along the way.

Mahalo nui loa!

I’ve been building a small set of world crowns. One from each continent that I think is my favorite. Not necessarily the most significant, but more aesthetically pleasing, like the first time I saw a picture of it I went “ oh wow, that’s really cool, what is that?!”. I’ve got four out of my six, I know what I want for Oceania, (German New Guinea 5 mark) and just might be able to get one next weekend.

However, I’m torn between two coins for South America… either the Argentina sun face 8 reales/soles or the South Peru 8 reales. I like both a lot, maybe the Argentina more so. Last few pictures are examples of the two South American crowns, not ones I own or even the ones I’d buy necessarily, more for reference.

Thought I’d get a few opinions and some perspective from you fine folks. Thoughts?
