I stick to the 38 to 41mm range even that is way to many coins to ever hope to have one of each...

I was always under the impression that a crown was the largest coin of that particular country.....See how wrong you can be!Although it still could be a true statement!

This would be the "crown" of Rwanda-Burundi, at 20.5 mm.

Thanks Svslav
those countries do pose some collecting difficulty, as I have to wait for their commemoratives, which usually is crown size

Thank you nohope, yes sticking to the 38mm to 41mm diameter range is interesting specially when they are in the album all together.

Middle eastern countries, their coins (silvers and commemoratives) dont reach crown size, only up to 34mm.... another album perhaps?

The monetary union of Rwanda-Burundi was short lived (1960 - 64), so you'll have to look for crowns of Rwanda and Burundi individually.
