OK, I dug up some recent average circulation pieces (world coins) that will be the prize this time.
Same rules:
I will add more "clues" to the picture of this coin until someone gets it correct. Only one guess per "clue". That means you must wait until I post another clue before you can make another guess.
Name the country and denomination of this coin:
Let's see how long this one lasts.

A real coin?
I was expecting a guess like 2058: un dolár commemorating 50 years since the founding of el Estado de Sur Florida.

I swear by that edge, there aren't too many countries with that kind of planchet. But when I searched for what I thought I had in mind - it just doesn't fit. Nice one Sisu

Hehe, when I saw the second clue, I thought, nah, I'll have to wait for the third clue. And now ... I'm clueless again.
Just one question: These three pieces are in the same positions that they have on the actual coin, right?

Annoyingly, I have this coin but I didn't stick around for the later clues
.. ack..that squiggly line... maybe I could have gotten it from that? plays on my conscience now, Uruguay 20 cents 1983...blast!!!
I had a feeling I had seen it too - I should go with my hunches more often...
