Can I top your purty lions for largest coin? Easily.

Try some Yap stone money. S&H would be a booger, though.

My grandmother had a few (much smaller) pieces in her yard in Florida. They were about large pizza sized.

The monster gold coins are truly a work of art.
Just thinking about how they struck the coins is a story in itself.
I wonder who they were presented to and who got them later.
Since the real story seems to be secret or unknown, it tends to imply some kind of "illegal" or "unethical" means were used.

I would speculate that it was in the government vault of some Deposed ruler, who when deposed and took it
