The Panama 20 balboas are definitely NCLT. They were Franklin Mint gimmicks, produced in conjunction with replica "Panama Pills", the teeny tiny 2½ centesimo first issued in 1904. I believe FM marketed them as "The largest and smallest silver coins in the world" and sold them both as a pair, individually, or combined with the other Panamanian coins in a mint or proof set.

Thanks for the info, Sap, then I guess we're back to the 10 kopecks 1779 from Siberia as my lagest circulating coin. I always suspected as much but couldn't resist buying the "lump" when given the chance. It wasn't very expensive either. I guess metal value alone is now about three times what I gave for it.
