Continuing this theme of coin weights... Post your smallest heavyweight metal coin! We'll define heavyweight as weighing 10.00 grams or more. Winner will be the coin with the smallest diameter in mm. Coins can be made of any metal, but no paper, plastic, wood, etc. Trade tokens are permissible, as long as they have a denomination. Coins don't need to be round, but use the largest dimension if they are out of round. I'm pretty sure that this is my best entry (a Stater from Boetia, Thebes that weighs 11.8 g and has a diameter of 21 mm).   "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I note that Ike dollars are more than twice the required minimum weight if someone was looking for participation points.  Leaderboard so far: 1. @fin235: 18.0 mm 2. @dorado: 22.5 mm 3. @bd251: 26.8 mm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I have a nice chunky Indian that should be about 20 mm, but I'll have to find it and get it out of its 2x2.
(Which I have fortunately long considered doing anyway; most of my 2x2-ed coins stay in their plastic, but I wanted this one free so that it could get attributed more precisely.)
