Let \(K\) be a convex lattice polygon in the plane with \(v\) vertices, \(g\) interior lattice points, and \(b\) boundary lattice points. \textit{D. B. Coleman} [Math. Mag. 51, 49--54 (1978; Zbl 0396.90107)] conjectured that if \(g\geq 1\) then \(b\leq 2g-v+10\). This conjecture is proved in the paper under review, and the cases of equality are characterized. Certain stronger inequalities are also derived for large \(v\).
