Absolutely correct, Phyllis!#3: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Aug 16, 2019 [SPOILER]
It is a medieval European coin.

I've got the left third done, pretty much, and I'm seeing what's commonly known as an Aztec sun stone. Although it doesn't look like the right side will complete the round.
So maybe this is a spoiler? We'll see...
OK, done now. Difficult solve!#5: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 17, 2019
Clearly not an Aztec sun stone. I see a profile with a crown, and lots of symbols around the outside. Never heard the word "groat" before, but I have seen those images.
And I have now finished all the "Fun with Anagrams" puzzles to date. These are fun, Teresa!
Thanks much, CB. I enjoyed "watching" your solving process.#6: Wombat (wombatilim) on Dec 14, 2022 [HINT]
I had to tackle this one despite its current "much guessing" rating, because I've never known Teresa to publish an unsolvable puzzle.#7: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 18, 2022
EL left places 16 of the 20. And that's it. LL completes the solve from there.
