I also have this one: Sweden 1718 1 Daler SM:   (only a few years too early to be a 5-pointer) |

I don't own this one anymore, so not a qualifying entry. I just like it. 1721 Ore struck on top of a 1718-19 S.M. Daler  Fascinating plate money, by the way! The only thing I can think of that comes close in terms of size and being metal would either be an ancient Roman Aes Signatum, or a Japanese Oban-kin. Both cost well over $10,000 so no danger of me owning one. |

@Finn235, the plate money is not cheap, but it is a small fraction of those other items. I got it from a Swedish dealer (not daler), so presumably they are relatively available.

Remember that large medals will get you points, too.

No photos of my Scandinavian coins and no large medals. Looks like I am a spectator again.  |

Well I'll be a son of a copperhead. Never expected to see one of these museum pieces on CCF, let alone two in one thread- ! This is my favorite 'coin', without a doubt. I feel very fortunate to own one. Example shown is a half daler dated 1717. I purchased it at a public estate sale awhile back. Enjoy the pics.   |

Amazing! I didn't expect to see another plate money either!
I'm still not 100% clear... did people actually carry these around to buy bread and cheese, or were these stacked up in banks to give backing to banknotes?
