These "would" be my smallest coins if I was over 100' tall.

Is that gold?

 

Yes it is. Crazy, huh?

 

I wonder what the largest or heaviest coin ever slabbed would be. Kind of doubt either of these were cracked-out.

 

Well thank you! I like it too. Something about real small gold coins, --the avatar being a Costa Rica 2 Colons-- that makes them screaming little peaches when it comes to luster. Not a chance you would ever see the same pools of luster from metal flow on a larger coin without spending a fortune on the coin. A little better picture of it for you with more pixels.

Very nice & welcome to the Cointalk forum. :welcome:

Is the winged griffin the silver coin that is depicted at about 10:00 (10 O’clock)? Is the India silver fanam depicted at about 5:30? Thanks for posting the interesting photo.

 

Thank you very much!
Yes you got it...but i need to ID those coins...have them many that I cannot to find proper ID

 

I don't know. Next to this medal, it seems kind of small.

 

my smallest

 

Hemiobol 550 BC about 1/4" diameter

 

I really like this series and I stumbled across this example on a trip to Ohio. Under a hundred bucks at the time (I can't recall) and I love it when dealers sell this sort of thing as melt + whatever %.

I refer to this piece as "Nummis Mundi". It weighs exactly one gram and has an exquisite depiction on an Indian Chief on the obv. I don't know anything else about it. I'll have to Google translate the inscription sometime soon. It was simply a tiny piece picked up at spot that is attractive and different.

Seems to translate as "A sign of the eternal salvation of the coins of the world". See http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1992-german-gold-commemorative-token-164008128
