<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 4514044, member: 98035&quot;]I find it interesting that 5mm seems to be the lower limit that few manage to break through, and of those that are smaller than 5mm, I have never seen one that isn&#039;t a simple or schematized design, like the &quot;Rosette&quot; type from Ionia that [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] shared.</p><p><br /></p><p>My smallest (and supposedly the smallest ever?) is the purported &quot;bele&quot; from South India, said to be a 1/10 fanam from Vijayanagar. I have heard that these may be modern creations, so take the attribution with a grain of salt. I got a half dozen of them in a lot with some nice Mysore fanams a couple years ago, so no sweat if they aren&#039;t genuine coins. Mine ranged from about 2-3mm and registered as 0.00g on my jewelry scale - I think they optimally weigh 0.04g</p><p><br /></p><p>Old photo with size comparison to a Mysore Fanam (5mm), Soloi tetartemorion (5mm), Ionia diobol, Kyzikos hemiobol, and a US dime[ATTACH=full]1118464[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
