When you say "older coin", what coin are you comparing it to? The question is rather unnatural.

I'm trying to figure out to compare two countries coins. How can I write a natural question?

It may be appropriate if you're talking to your child. In that context, "reply to me" doesn't work. Alternatively, you can use "please tell me."
