2006 from Jordan....by Frans Woons, Canada
Here

This week continues the quiz series called, "Whose Face". She was the Queen of the Amazons, a legendary tribe of women warriors. In a series of commemorative Bi-metallic coins, Gibraltar recognized the trials of Hercules, a tale of Greek heroics and heroes. One of these Bi-metallic Two-Pound coins (KM 763) shows Hercules getting the Queen's girdle, a waist belt that signified her authority as queen of the Amazons. The girdle was said to possess mystical powers. Whose face appears on this Bi-metallic Two Pounds of Gibraltar dated 2000?

10. Which of these African countries is/are landlocked?
Answer to WBCC June Super Quiz #16 When the Euro coins were launched in 2002, optional edge lettering was authorized. Most countries incorporated a series of designs for the edges including stars, country names, ornaments or value. Which country created Bi-metallic edge designs that were NOT country name, ornaments, value or stars? What was the inscription on the Bi-metallic 2 Euro of that country and what does it say in English? The correct answer is in German: "EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT". In English: "UNITY AND JUSTICE AND FREEDOM". The June Super Quiz winner will be announced next week.
