summary
The Mishnah in Chulin (3:1-2) discusses if an animal has a perforated trachea, what size hole renders the animal a Tereifah? If the cavity is the size of a Dinar coin, then it is Kosher, however if it is the size of larger coin, an Issur Itaki, then it is deemed to be a Tereiphah.
These two coins demonstrate exactly what the Mishnah (and later Talmud) is referring to.
