Here, you're digging your own grave. Where does it say that the clues have to be obvious?)) Nowhere. And considering that Vegtam likes to make clues that aren't obvious (he's said this many times), you're only compromising yourself.
In my case, you need to: insert a letter in the middle of the nickname, remove the other half of the nickname, translate the word into Russian, and you get "silver." And we're talking about a "silver" coin. Well, that's an obvious clue! In your case, the clue isn't obvious enough, but it's much more connected and logical.
You're nitpicking.
Where do we end up when we save the world?
