Here's a huge chunk of silver for you. Would make a convenient weapon if tossed at someone. 41.2mm and 19.5 grams!

The Mexican 5 Peso "Cuauhtemoc" coins of the 1940s were certainly large and in charge. They didn't circulate much and are relatively easy to find in nice condition. 40mm diameter, 4mm thick and 30 full grams of 0.900 silver. Twice as heavy as the above 28 Stuber I posted.

Elizabeth is staring down Ike.  Who you think will be winning?
