Mine weighs 1.03 grams and the shortest diameter is about 15.6MM. Hard to measure inside a plastic slab. Although weight and diameter fits the above coins, it seems like my color is too bronze for those compositions. The diameter would make it closer to the Costa Rica coin.

I was referring to SPP's coin.

I think I saw a bronze/copper or two in that coinscan list of foreign coins stuck by RCM that might fit yours but don't have time to click through all those countries again. Would be a nice feature somewhere to make such a list searchable by size/weight/composition/year range... |

I checked...I don't see anything. I think SPP's fits one of those.

Here is another 1977 struck on a foreign planchet that I can't figure out what planchet it's struck on. Weighs 1.9 grams. Non-magnetic and appears to be struck on bronze or copper planchet. Any ideas?   |

Any chance of that being a larger elliptical clip from a slightly larger planchet size?

It could be that but there are probably other foreign planchets out there that aren't in the reference material. I am thinking that there is a better chance for that scenario but your idea is interesting.

I gave Brad a case at my table... he is a good friend... We also went out for Brazilian dinner, and almost ate ourselves into a meat coma...
