Wishing you all a very happy new year!!!

The quiz this year was exceptionally tough.

Question 6 was comparatively easy once the Mystery word was cracked and I realized that the image was squished. But Question 8 proved to be a brain basher..... While scrolling through all the Circulating commemorative Coins of countries starting with T, I was looking at the reverse pictures only and this one was on the obverse. After scrolling through 6 countries, I realized my blunder!!!

Velind.

Results are in...
TH coins allocated the winners in the following order,

2,3,4,1,5

Chrisild allocated each forum member a number as follows,

1 bart
2 Fosseway
3 eurocoin
4 Velind
5 quaziright

So first is Fosseway,  second is eurocoin and third is Velind.
As with every year I will find find a prize for all entrants.

I'll be in touch over the next few days...

Damn it, lost out by just 2 places, oh well, that's life! Three cheers for another well organized quiz

[bart]

The big fun is in the quiz itself! I found it pretty tough indeed this year. It took me a lot of work and searching to find most of the coins. For me, the most difficult was nr 6, because, even when I knew which country I had to look in,I failed to see a match. I found it only in ruling out all the possibilities.

I am a bit out of coin collecting at the moment, so it was an extra challenge for me: could I still find the solutions with my rusty knowledge? I am glad that I could succeed, and this is for me more rewarding than any prize given!

So, thank you andyg for organizing again this great december contest!

This year I had no time for the quiz. I enjoyed it only one hour at my sweepphone. That wasn't enough to solve more than the Chech coin  ... But it's a highlight of the year to me. Many thanks to Andrew !!!   

[eurocoin]

I have today received the prize. Many thanks for your effort in putting this great quiz together. I already look forward to the next edition.

[quaziright]

Just wanted to say a very heartfelt thanks to Andyg for the prize he sent me! It arrived quite a while ago, but I was only back home in the last few days and going through my mail
