@Valentinian: I mispelled it ; it is Fulgeratori. My apologies, so sorry.
I do have one, and was looking for another emperor's coin with Iovi Fvlgeratori.

This is mine:
Pre-reform Antoninianus
Rome, 290 - 291 AD, Mintmark XXIZ struck under Maximian, officina mark Z (= 7th officina)
20 x 22 mm, 3.683 g
RIC V Diocletian 167;

Ob: IMP DIOCLE-TIANVS AVG Radiate, draped, bust of Diocletianus to r.
Rev.: IOVI F-VLGERATORI (to Jupiter who throws the lightning), Jupiter walking l. head to r., l. leg drawn back, r. arm up about to hurl thunderbolt, mantle draped over l. arm, eagle at foot to l. In exergue XXIZ

Your pick. Perhaps a representation of thunderbolt or Jupiter? Something where there are plenty of examples.

 

Ok, understood.
Then how about we move on and look for small ones: a Tetartemorion.
Who can share the smallest?

Hope I wrote it correctly

 

Theme: a Tetartemorion



Ionia, Miletos. c. 550-525 BC.
5-4 mm. 0.14 grams. Tiny!
Facing lion's head/pattern of nine dots.
Theoretically, a tetartemorion is 1/4 obol which is 1/6 drachm. Obols have varying weights, often c. 0.7 grams, as 1/6 of 1/4 of a tetradrachm of 17.2 grams would be at Athens. So an Athenian tetartemorion would be about 0.17 or 0.18 grams. I highly doubt that such tiny coins were struck to precise weights. This one is not from Athens, so it might be on a different standard, and smaller denominations were not normally up to the full weight of their theoretical fraction. Minting cost something and minting six obols was harder than minting a drachm, and minting four tetartemoria was harder than minting one obol. The state usually took a cut by making the smaller denominations weigh less than their fraction.

Next Theme: Lion

 

I have lots of lions, but I'll pick one of the smaller coins:

MYSIA
AR Hemiobol
OBVERSE: Forepart of running boar left, tunny fish behind upward
REVERSE: Head of roaring lion left within incuse square, star above
Struck at Kyzikos, 480-450BC
0.41 g, 9.5 mm
Sear 3850

Next: Boar or Pig
