I found this tiny coin on ebay. Could someone find some information on it?

the seller seems trustable, as he is also selling many other coins and banknotes from Nepal
Quote SCWC 1701-1800
Nepal : On 1640, the new standard coin was the Mohar, weighing about 5.4g, or rather more than half the old tanka. The Mohar was subdivided in factors of 2, as follows:
2 Mohar (Rupee) = 10.80 g
1 Mohar = 5.40 g
1/2 Mohar = 2.70 g
1/4 Mohar (Suki) = 1.35 g
1/8 Mohar = 0.67 g
1/16 Mohar = 0.34 g
1/32 Mohar = 0.17 g
1/128 Mohar (Dam) = 0.04-0.08 g
1/512 Mohar (Jawa) = 0.01 g
The weights given above correspond to the average weight of actual specimens, rather than the theoretical weight, which has been said to be 86.4 grains, or 5.60 g.
The coinage was almost entirely of silver, with the tiny Jawa being easily the smallest coin in the world.

​Thanks! Thats a 1/512 Mohar I guess, a 1/4 dam.
It seems that "1/4 Jawa" is smaller. That coin was 1/4 worth of that tiny jawa, and cut from the center of the jawa / 1/4 dam.

Good morning.
I wanted to ask about the fate of this coin. Where is she now?
What was her size? Judging by the photo next to the 1 Dime "Roosevelt Silver Dime" 1946-1964 coin measuring 17.9 mm, the size of the "Nepal 1/4 dam jawa" should be 6x6 mm (see the photo below). However, according to Krause, this coin should be 2x2 mm. Where is the truth and who has this coin so that these disagreements can be made?

I wanted to contact the seller, but this link no longer works.

How do I find this seller?

From 7 years ago?? In short, you don't.

The question remains a question. I didn't get an answer to the question. Does anyone have such a coin and what is the actual size of this coin?

I answered the question I could answer.

 

Your measurements from the picture are correct.  Can't comment on SCWC. NGC says the weight is 0.0020 grams.

Thanks for the reply. But I can't imagine that a coin with such a weight could ever be in circulation. Nothing is said about this coin in any literature.  

The dimensions are specifically indicated in the photo, as there is some trick here that everyone is silent about.

From what I read this is a ¼ dam, not a ¼ jawa so should be 4x4mm.
