For me, the most valuable coin (If thinking of what I would want to have the most from all of the coins/what I would pay the most) is https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces143439.html (1 Penni 1863, the first Finnish pattern coin, actually the first actual Finnish coin) It would be worth from 90k€ to 300k€ I think.
A 1933 $20 double eagle Saint-Gaudens sold at auction in 2002 for $7,500,000.
It was owned by King Farouk of Egypt.
Thats the best return on $20 I know of.

Although I think it's worth mentioning the Petition Crown, which is probably the jewel in the crown for most early British milled coinage collectors. A similar crown was sold (according to Wiki) in 2014 for £396.000; also not a bad return for a coin with a decimal face value of £0,25!
For something made out of base metal and could look very non descript.
It is hard to go past the 1913 V Nickel of the USA, 5 exist apparently and if they come on the market, they go for $3 million or so. This one went for $5 million. A 1912 V nickel on the other had is yours for a couple of $!
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

Looking at the list of most expensive coins, one of these - Umayyad Gold Dinar, was sold by Morten & Eden twice, once in 2011 and again in 2019. If it was the same coin, the loss was about $1.25 million
