Quarter coin game : Find a country

190 posts

» Quick access to the last post

This game has some succes on the French forum, so i'll give you the idea :

1) Choose a quarter from any coin

2) The coin MUST be in the world coins

3) Find wich country is the coin from

4) Anybody who put a quarter not recognized for 24H get 1 POINT

5) Enjoy :)

Wich country is that quarter's from?
Pure guess Vietnam?

It's actually Sujit's turn to submit a new challenge, but in the mean time, try this one:

Looks like you can only get a point with medieval or ancient coins that the most can't even identify with the whole picture  :8D

Are there more rules to this game? Because I have a few coins that in some places show even less details than the slovenian one and that seems unfair.

for the meanwhile a medium one:

I don't think the normal version of this coin is a non-circulating commemorative but I could be wrong.
OK, and here's a 4-part challenge:

Nice idea for a thread, the problem I see with allowing anyone to post at any time is that some coins get buried.

Perhaps if grumz could edit his top post with updates of any unidentified quarters then it would make it a bit easier to see what has been identified and what has not.

Your German States coin is very special and so difficult to find :8D
Would you catch this other german coin ?
