I had been following this thread for some time, but finally acquired the coins worthy of a nero bump after nearly a year.

Here is my smallest coin *inside* of my largest one.

This is a fun thread. I have more tiny than large coins.

Thanks, UltraRant. Stotinka - I think I have several 20 Stotinkas. I would have guessed Bulgaria eventually, if I checked my Cyrillic alphabet...

Finally got around to digging some out for a family portrait.

Post-Your-Smallest-And-Largest-Coin-Together Post-Your-Smallest-And-Largest-Coin-Together

Clockwise around the 3 cent, starting at the top:

- India, princely state (Cochin?) gold fanam, ca 1700-1800
- Ancient AE4, imitative of Theodosius II cross type. ca. 400-600; apparently not catalogued
- Panama "pill" 1904 2 1/2 centesimos
- Hungary, Obolus (1/2 denar) of Stephen V, 1270-1272
- A probably official Roman AE4 "cross in wreath" type, most likely Theodosius II, 425-435
- Japan mameita gin, apparently a sub-variety called a "rogin". Used to make small change for large ingots of silver. ca. 1700-1800
- Barbarous "minim" antoninianus, imitating Tetricus and depicting Pax holding a flower. Most likely made after Aurelian's coinage reform in 271. Tetricus was a secessionist Gallic emperor, and as such his coins were not protected by Roman law against counterfeiting, so his effigy was used for years or even decades on unofficial small coins after his empire collapsed.

And here come the big boys to play:

Clockwise from top:

- Japan, Hoei Tsuho 10 mon, 1708
- Japan, Tenpo Tsuho 100 mon, ca 1830-1869
- 1989 ASE
- China, Szuechan province, I think 50 cash?
- Austria 30 kreuzer 1807
- Ptolemaic Egypt, AE Hemidrachm? I think it's Ptolemy III, 246-222 BC
- 1797 George III cartwheel twopence
