cheap alternatives to the Panama Pill

The Panama pill is probably the smallest silver coin on record-I believe it is only 10 mm in width. But I picked up a Guatemalan coin, an 1899 1/4 real, that comes in at 12mm-83.5 % silver. The coin looks very small. It only weights in at 0.77 grams, whereas the Panama pill weighs in, I believe, at 1.25 grams.

Aside the the P. pill, what is the smallest silver coin you have?

​Neil, what is the smallest coin of any type of metal. My smallest is still that 12 mm coin.

​Someone posted one on here a few weeks ago that was only 5 or 6 mm, I'll see if I can track the post down

Edit: I couldn't find the thread I was thinking about but here's one that Apuking posted talking about a 4.5mm gold coin

​That is small all right. I guess it would pay to have gold for a coin that small.

The smallest coins I've ever encountered are the 1/96 staters of ancient Greece or Anatolia. They are as small as 3mm and weigh about .15-.2 grams. Not the smallest coins by weight, but because they are sphere-like they are the smallest by diameter.

I have seen "1/10 gold fanams" for sale online, but never by a reputable dealer and never graded by a reputable grader so I am very inclined to say that these are modern fabrications (also seeing how ebay sellers never seem to run out of them). Edit: They are also referred to as gold cash, bele, and a few other names.

The coin in the picture above looks like a 1/24 or 1/48 stater, It's hard to tell without knowing the size of the coin or their hands

Edit: The smallest authentic coins by weight are the Nepalese dams in silver and gold, they weigh about .04g each.

Edit: While looking online I found refrences to a Nepalese coin called the "jawa" reputedly weighing only .01g, if it exists it would be the smallest coin by weight.
