Thank you for reminding me about that 2000 reis, I'll add it to the list. The 10,000 reis doesn't have the denomination spelled out, but the 1889-1922 type does, so we can also add it. Further additions:

125 - Brazil, countermarked 125 reis from the 17th century.
150 - Brazil, countermarked 150 reis from the 17th century and regular issues in the 18th century.

While NCLTs aren't my priority, I have found out that:

Bermuda issued triangular gold NCLTs with face values of 60, 90, and 180 dollars in the 1990s and 2000s.
China issued gold NCLTs with face values of 450 yuan (year of the child 1979), 800 yuan (elephant statue 1981), and 3000 yuan (panda series 2000, one kilo of gold, mintage 68 pcs.)

Some of the Brazil 10000 and 20000 reis coins have the denomination written on them, and some don't. The ones I have don't. Some of the earlier ones do.

Is this copper bar also considered a coin?
http://ceyloncoins.com/?page_id=862...4_34_Stuiver

I would think so. More information on it can be found here, which states that they were legal tender.

A regular coin to add to a NCLT-only denomination would be 13 nasri from Tunisia.

Some of the coins with (?) have translated scripts on Numista, so they can be confirmed:
1/80 riyal from Yemen says one eighth of a tenth.
1/40 riyal from Yemen says one fortieth.
1/40 qirsh from Egypt says a quarter of a tenth qirsh.

Two new denominations to add would include:
1/32 riksdaler specie from Sweden.
3-1/2 gulden from the German state Baden.

Thank you, that clears up some things. And good job finding a regular "13" coin!

New addition:
124 - Venetia 124 soldi, 16th century (closed auction)

New example:
21 - Neuchatel 21 batzen, 18th century (sold item)

700 - Bhutan 700 ngultrum (Borobudur Temple, 2005).

I thought there must be an 125 somewhere - it didn't sound like a rare denomination - but I could only find the Canadian NCLT 125 dollars from 2016 and a countermarked Brazilian 125 reis from 1663.
Then I remembered Justinian's 125 nummi. Do those ancient coins count?

(On topic of ancients - and really stretching the "does it count" question - there's also the Ostrogothic 83 nummi.)

I found two coins I am unsure about:
3-1/4 nasri from Tunisia. The three is written on the coin, but I do not know where the 1/4 would be.
5/6 tanka from the Indian state Delhi Sultanate. I cannot read the script, so I cannot confirm the denomination is written on that coin.

january1may, sure they do, thank you! FORVM mentions a 33 nummi from Alexandria and a Bosporan 48 nummi, so we'll add these too.

Joseph7420, I don't know either, so I'll add them tentatively to the list (unless someone confirms them in the meantime).

CalzoneManiac, yeah the 100kg gold. I'll leave that one out since we already have examples for that denomination of more regular (and much more easily obtainable) coins.

I don't know if you want to include coins from all the German issuers, but the Krause German Coins catalog is full of odd fractional denominations, sometimes written as "1/XX" or just "XX" on the coin.

Examples include:

Einbeck -- 1/21 Gulden 1573 (MB#24, p414, col2) -- "Z1" appears on coin

Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel -- 1/14 Thaler 1610 (KM#36) -- "14" appears on coin

Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel -- 1/18 Thaler 1715-1716 (KM#743) -- "1/18" appears on coin

There are about 1500 pages full of coins like these, from hundreds of issuers.

I thought that might be the case

Yes, the "48 einen thaler" and similar coins are accepted. Even if the coin just says "24" meaning 1/24. The only exception would be the "X eine feine Mark" types as the Mark in question referred to a weight unit not the currency.

And as I suppose finding pictures of them online will be difficult, your description of what appears on the coin should be enough


Since you mentioned Germany, I searched and found the following:

1/28 - 1/28 thaler, Wurzburg, 1643-68 ("Z8")
1/36 - 1/36 thaler, Bremen, 1641-1739 ("36")
15-1/2 - 15-1/2 heller, Bocholt, 1616 ("XV-o")

And then, putting random stuff into NGC search box produced this:
1/56 thaler from Julich-Cleve-Berg (with "56" in the legend) (NGC)

Here are some NCLTs I have found:
1/25 crown from Gibraltar.
55 cents from Australia.
350 dollars from Canada.
1,100 bolívares from Venezuela.
7,000 francos from Equatorial Guinea.
30,000 lira from Turkey.
And to go along with that 6.55957 franc coin, there is also 65.5957 and 655.957 francs from France.
