And I thought wikipedia is up to scratch.

Proved to be wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_coins

I suspect that list will get updated very quickly thanks to this thread.

 

Wow - that rouble certainly beat its estimate. What makes that particular pattern so valuable?

 

That list appears to be quite out of date, and woefully incomplete.

 

WHat is the diameter of the 1621 gold 100 Ducats. I see the weight but I can’t find how bit it actually is. I’m just curious how large this coin really is.

 

Hi CamaroDMD, sorry for a late answer.

The diameter of the pieces known is 68.6 to 70.0 mm, depends on the specimen. I had a few of them in hands.
