Spoiler for No...not what I meant...Hai! That is yes..5 coins w/ 2 double diamater. Looks like a parallelogram with line in the middle.
OP should say "same coin" but i guess no one use 4 half-cut coins (or bitable coins) to make 8 diameters.

My angles were more...90 degrees

Sorry if I'm going on a completely different tangent than what the OP intended, to be honest, I'm not sure what the OP intends 
, but seeing your response to witzar made me think 'outside the box' (or plane of the box ) type solutions were acceptable.
