Which is Largest

AlexinPA

Which is the largest (in diameter) ancient Roman coin I can buy today? I want to buy one or two for my nephew who is interested in Roman history and I don't want a small speck in a field of white (Certified).

Thanks so much for your help.

I know very little of Ancients, but i did see a Derrones Dodekadrachm once and it left a lasting impression. How much do you want to spend? Are you looking at silver or bronze?

Thanks very much. Your reply has been most helpful and will probably be my choice of purchase.
