I was asked over the holidays if I'd like to help build a California Fractional Gold collection and a lobotomy with a rusty screwdriver seemed like way more fun 
Change my mind by showing your dinky treasures 
Silver 3c's, H10c, Gold $1's, etc.

This tiny gold coin is possibly the smallest modern machine-struck coin ever made.
Guatemala 4 Reales 1860
Obverse: Rafael Carrera facing right / RAFAEL CARRERA P. DE LA R. DE GUATEMALA
Reverse: Wreath / 4 REALES 1860 / 21 Q R
Gold, 9mm, 0.83gm, 0.875 fine
The obverse has "FRENER F." under the bust but it is hard to read. Jean-Baptiste Frener was a Swiss engraver who lived in Guatemala from 1854 to 1897. He worked at the mint in Guatemala City.
The reverse "21 Q" is 21 Quilates (21 karat or 21/24 or 0.875 gold). The "R" is mint assayer Rafael Romaña. Many coin catalogs treat the "R" as a mint mark.
The original value was 4 reales or one-half peso, the equivalent of one-half US dollar. The coin is close in size to the little California fractional gold coins. It is smaller than the US silver three-cent piece and the "Panama Pill" 1904 2-1/2 centavos.
Rafael Carrera was a peasant and soldier who rose to power during the first part of the 19th century. He was President of Guatemala from 1854 to 1865 and managed to keep Guatemala independent of Mexico. He also instituted the coffee-growing industry there. Rafael Carrera died on April 14, 1865.

Maybe you need one of these - in the news today
BERLIN (AP) — No joke: Switzerland has minted a gold coin so small you’d need to look very closely to see Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue at you.
State-owned Swissmint said Thursday that the 2.96-millimeter (0.12-inches) gold coin is the smallest in the world.
It weighs 0.063 grams (1/500th of an ounce) and has a nominal value of 1/4 Swiss francs ($0.26).
Swissmint said the coin, of which just 999 have been made, will be sold for 199 francs with a special magnifying glass so owners can see the famous physicist on its face.

My India gold Fanam's........
From a mintage of 7,756:
At 15 millimeters in width, it is smaller than a US half dime...
15mm is the same diameter as the US Type 2 and Type 3 gold dollars.

Silver 3-cent pieces are smaller at 14 mm.
I find myself wondering how often some of these dinky gold coins inadvertently got lost!
The Type 1 US gold dollar at 13 mm is the smallest coin ever issued by the US. The Type 2 and Type 3 US silver 3-cent coin at 0.75 grams is the lightest US coin ever issued.

I have a counterfeit version of this one. The Lincoln cent was from the "Nixon Inflation Money" set.
