How about these…

 

 

N#4068 

N#22385 

N#3719 

N#11143 

N#12779 

 

Reasonably affordable and easy to find in F/VF condition (as with mine), but in XF or UNC you can pay through the nose.

Russia has period with sad eagle in 1831-1839, which produced 45 gram pancake. Coin got that big due to early coinage habits of matching nominal value to weight.

Modern Panama has 20 balboa collectables depicting figure that ended colonial era.

The earlier Russian 5 kopecks are even larger - 50 gram in average, but some examples may be 60+ gramm

 

I have plenty of them available for swap
