I have a stash of about a kilogram of pure nickel coins from around the World.
Problem with pure nickel as a coinage metal is that it is relatively hard, and working dies have a shorter working life, and thus the coins cost a bit more to produce.
The heaviest pure nickel coins issued into wide scale circulation that I can find are the 50 Francs of French Polynesia and New Caledonia - 15 grams weight.
Canada pure nickel Dollars 15.62 grams.
Examples of common pure nickel coins of Europe:-
Netherlands 1 Guilder
France 2 Francs.
