I have a 1978 Papua New Guinea copper nickel 5 Toea, of which only 777 were struck by the Franklin Mint, but I very seriously doubt that any of this issue circulated.
Googled; apparently 777 was the Prooflike mintage, and actual mintage was 17,000 (still not exactly very much).
The non-FM coin had (according to the same source) a mintage of only 2000; I found a picture of it
here, and it really doesn't look uncirculated to me.
New record?
