Great start Bd251. Now let's see what Hondo and J1M can come up with.

Thanks, yall. Now if someone has a 1 Kg coin and one of bd251's Travancore 1 Chuckrams, they'll blow me out of the water. Or even a 10 ounce and the Chuckram, one of which I'll be getting!

My pair was similar to bd251's with a Kyzikos hemiobol (similar weight, slightly larger diameter) replacing the chuckram. I also didn't have weight figures for my 5 kopek, so the best I could do was the standard 51.2 grams.
(Those things varied a lot in weight, especially on the upper end; the standard is 1/320 pood = 51.2 grams, but bd251's 64.3 grams is well within typical variance, and I've heard of examples weighing as much as 80 grams.)

I have an idea for the next round, but hope it hasn't been done already. Does not matter. Players come and go, so a call back is welcome.  |

Wow. I'd only heard of 70g examples before. I used to actively search for extremely heavy examples but that became tiresome, especially through ebay, since very few are listed with a weight. I also have one that is 36.0g. |

Hopefully this round will be simple. Post a picture of your coin with the greatest number of different types of identifiable animals on it. 1 point per species. For instance, this 1977 Trinidad and Tobago 5 Cents features a bird of paradise on the reverse, while the coat of arms on the obverse features hummingbirds in the crest supported by a scarlet ibis and a cocrico (rufus-tailed chachalaca) for a score of 4. And yes, a human is an animal. Let's see your critter coins!  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
