Based on whats posted here ...
Most of the scallops are 12 that seems to be a popular number followed by 8.
There are few coins with 16 scallops.
The only one which I saw with 14 was A very unusual form of scalloping on an Ethiopian 25 santeem coin, dated 1944.

Scalloped coins as a type are apparently dying out.

Numista shows only seven countries issuing scalloped coins since 2011:

Numista: scalloped coins, 2011 to 2023.

The countries are:

Bahamas, Belize, Hong Kong (China), Cook Islands, Samoa, Sierra Leone, and Vanuatu.

Sierra Leone issued a new scalloped coin type just last year, however.

More common nowadays are round coins with a scalloped inner rim.

Perhaps Coins with a "cookie cutter" inner rim could be considered a related type.

I invented the "cookie cutter" name - it is not a recognised term.
