Also there are tokens that are canadian look up bank of upper Canada token and bank of lower Canada token. Some really interesting ones!


I am also a fan (albeit mostly from the sidelines) of the Conder tokens from the UK (1787-1805?). Talk about a buncha cool looking varieties that were used in place of coins!

I love my large coppers, but I never tried to make a list that was anywhere near exhaustive.
I agree that Russian copper coins of the 18th-19th centuries are some of the largest around (still looking for the 10 kopek from the 1830s, which at 42 mm is the last gasp of the really big coinage - only a few 40+ mm types were issued anywhere in the world after that, most of them a good deal rarer).

Unrelatedly (because it's not copper): wow the Gambia 8 shillings. Totally going to get one for my collection (if I can afford the price).

Mexico's 5 Centavos coins from 1914 to 1935 fit your requirements. They measure out at 28mm...
