World's Smallest Gold Coin: Gold Bele of Vijayanagara in Case

Product Description

Own a historic gold piece at a VERY low cost! In prospecting lingo, this tiny piece of gold would probably be mistaken for a picker at first glance. Look closer – and we do mean really close – it's actually a coin! Struck from the 1330s until the 1640s, these itty-bitty, teeny-tiny gold bele coins hail from the great Indian Vijayanagara Empire. At just two to three millimeters in diameter, the bele is known as the world's smallest gold coin. Housed in a clear box with certificate of authenticity.
