Palladium coins of the World

With the quick sellout for the US 2018 Proof palladium $25 coin following last years Unc version, I thought this might be a good time to collect any palladium coins minted across the globe. Where can I find information on sources, mints or resellers for other palladium coins available?

Are there any other Pd coins? I am not aware of any, even NCLT.
It seems to me that the Russian ballerina palladium coin may be the most common.

There are a fair number of palladium coins show on Google/ images.

Bermuda 1987 & 1988 ?25 dollars. I got one about 12 years ago or so for $118! Nice designs though....
Well, just Love coins, period.
The French made some in the '80's including the Statue of Liberty design.
I believe Tonga was the first country to issue a palladium coin. It was NCLT. To my knowledge no circulating coins have been made out of palladium (unlike platinum, which saw some use in 19th century Russia).
Wikipedia says Sierra Leone beat Tonga by one year. I did not verify this in SCWC.
A numismatic purist or traditionalist might say that Platinum is an oddball but traditional coinage metal, while Palladium clearly is not. NCLT is a good term.
There is this one:
(Heritage sold it in January)
Pacific Northwest Numismatic Association
Linky, but no price: https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/great-britain-victoria-proof-pattern-palladium-hydrogenium-1-2-sovereign-1869-pr65-pcgs-/a/3061-32311.s
I do think Heritage has an excellent write-up on this one, so I copied the link.
Sold for $9600
@atom Thanks for the price info.
It's a shame they could not establish the provenance. Good write-up though.
