Here's my latest:

There's more to it than meets the eye, in hand as well. If anyone comes up
with the right answer, they win my eternal admiration.


1) The coin has obviously been whizzed. You can see where the molten metal
has built up near the ridges.

2) It has plainly suffered PVC damage from being kept in a rigid,
non-flexible, PVC flip.

3) Being Greek, it was probably owned by an abuser-of-little-boys, so it
doesn't actually deserve any attention at all - let alone credibility -
owing to the association, however vague or tenuous.

4) It's not even Con., anyway. It's probably Julian.

5) Of course, the most egregious anachronism is the traffic lights on the
reverse. I mean: *four* lights? What colour was the fourth one, anyway?

Not bad huh? All this from a noisy, out-of-focus, motion-blurred (probably
mobile-phone-camera) snap.

You may withhold the admiration.
In some cases, I am more comfortable with contempt.
