<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3562910, member: 112&quot;]This part is actually a fairly complicated question for a couple of reasons. One would be if we take inflation into account, all kinds of things change because inflation rates were different in different countries during the same time periods throughout history, so denominations kind of lose their meaning in that regard. And two, well how did you intend to determine value when it comes to denominations ? </p><p><br /></p><p>So, about the only way I know to answer a question like that would be to consider the weight of the metal content to be the determining factor. And using that criteria, the largest denomination coin ever in general circulation that I can think of off the top of my head would be the Austrian 100 Korona. It contained .98 oz of pure gold, and it was a circulation coin. Of course the Hungarian 100 Korona matches that, but they were identical coins, just minted in different countries at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, there were quite a few coins larger than the 100 Korona, but they were never general circulation coins. So given that qualifying factor in your question I&#039;d have to rule those out.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m interested in finding out is if someone can think of one that was bigger than the 100 Korona.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
