Great Britain gold 1800 third-guinea (used in circulation) and 2010 quarter-sovereign (introduced by The Royal Mint as a marketing gimmick as gold coins were getting so expensive)

Here's a nice and obscure one: India Billon damma of the Omkareshwar monastery Minted c. Early 14th century AD   This is actually the final (chronologically) iteration of the "Indo-Sassanian" coinage which began around 500 AD when local Indian dynasties began minting imitations of Sassanian drachms for use on the Silk Road. Over time the design elements were lost to progressive attempts to make the coins hardier against circulation wear, resulting in the preservation of mass (4-4.5g) but the reduction of the diameter from about 25mm down to 15mm. This particular coin bears the legend on the reverse "Sri Omkara" indicating it was minted by that monastery, probably to pay its workers.
