Greetings,
The Metal " Antimony " is missing in the Catalog
It was first used in Guizhou, China 10 Cents Coin of 1931

I believe if antimony was used for one coin in 1931 it would have been a minor alloying element. Can you give an example of a coin where antimony is a major constituent?
Other (Antimony) is sufficient for such a fringe case.
I agree with adding Antimony as a selectable composition, and I do having a pending request to make that happen (pending for over a year now, along with a bunch of other composition requests). With it being a periodic element, it cannot really be grouped in anything other than "other", and I think it would be nice to expand our "other" compositions. There may have only been one (standard circulating) coin made of this composition, but... a collector might not ever know that unless it was an option to select. (8

For reference, here is the coin in question:

And here is an antimony pattern as well:
