Macleay River Shortnecks would be one of the smallest that is easily obtainable. Emydura maquarrii dharra. Top carapace length of 142mm.

Pet shops years ago used to sell any baby turtles they could get as Penny Turtles, thus the name..........it has no reflection on their rate of growth or their adult size

penny turtles are mainly murray river short necks and eastern long necks babies.
i guess people trick the buyers by saying that their baby turtles are pennys wether they are long or short necks

PS other baby turtles are sometimes called penny aswell.
