Coin Show - Coin Challenges

To have a little fun and test your knowledge of coins, we will add coin challenges from time to time.

The objective of each coin challenge is twofold. First, what is the coin for which the image below shows a small portion? Also, is the image from the obverse or reverse of the coin?

Click on a specific coin challenge to see the picture and view the hints. For unanswered coin challenges, we add hints to the blog on occasion. Answers are posted after the monthly coin show. 

Each of the coin challenges, including earlier ones, can be found in the list below. After viewing the challenge, the answer can be found via a link near the bottom of the page.
