The largest legal tender coin made in recent times was the one tonne piece minted in 2012 in Australia. It contains 1,012 kilograms (2,230 lb) of 99.99% pure gold. It has a face value of only $1 million Australian dollars but has a bullion value of approximately $32.5 million dollars (US) when the price of gold is at $1,000 an ounce.
