Determinants of Circulant Matrices

I noticed that the number associated with my diurnal age today has a circulant matrix with a determinant that is a pronic number. The number in question is 27514. This is its circulant matrix. Forgive the formatting as I just copied it from the SageMathCell output.

[2 7 5 2 4]
[4 2 7 5 2]
[2 4 2 7 5]
[5 2 4 2 7]
[7 5 2 4 2]

This matrix has a determinant of 10100 = 100 x 101 and thus pronic. Naturally I wondered how many other numbers between 1 and 40000 share this property and it turns out that 502 do so that's about 1.25% of the range. Here are the numbers (permalink):

2, 6, 20, 42, 60, 64, 93, 95, 101, 113, 131, 134, 143, 200, 204, 279, 297, 309, 311, 314, 341, 347, 374, 377, 399, 402, 413, 420, 431, 437, 446, 464, 473, 479, 497, 600, 640, 644, 677, 729, 734, 737, 743, 749, 767, 773, 776, 789, 792, 794, 798, 879, 897, 903, 927, 930, 939, 947, 950, 972, 974, 978, 987, 993, 1010, 1041, 1130, 1310, 1340, 1430, 2000, 2040, 2253, 2352, 2790, 2970, 3090, 3110, 3140, 3144, 3151, 3296, 3410, 3441, 3470, 3692, 3740, 3770, 3990, 4002, 4011, 4020, 4042, 4130, 4134, 4187, 4192, 4200, 4291, 4310, 4370, 4431, 4460, 4640, 4730, 4781, 4790, 4970, 5061, 5131, 5223, 5322, 6000, 6051, 6374, 6385, 6400, 6440, 6473, 6583, 6770, 7290, 7340, 7364, 7370, 7430, 7463, 7490, 7670, 7730, 7760, 7797, 7890, 7920, 7940, 7980, 8147, 8365, 8389, 8563, 8688, 8697, 8741, 8790, 8796, 8886, 8970, 8983, 9003, 9007, 9030, 9142, 9236, 9241, 9270, 9296, 9300, 9390, 9399, 9470, 9500, 9632, 9687, 9692, 9720, 9740, 9777, 9780, 9786, 9799, 9870, 9930, 9993, 9997, 10001, 10100, 10122, 10227, 10254, 10317, 10397, 10410, 10694, 10731, 10795, 11073, 11112, 11121, 11202, 11211, 11300, 11343, 12021, 12072, 12111, 12333, 12342, 12405, 12432, 12557, 12698, 12702, 13017, 13100, 13224, 13233, 13314, 13323, 13332, 13367, 13400, 13431, 13486, 13553, 13583, 13646, 13701, 13709, 13736, 13853, 14133, 14223, 14300, 14366, 14638, 15006, 15042, 15275, 15335, 15338, 15725, 16005, 16373, 16409, 16463, 16634, 16667, 16676, 16766, 16829, 16843, 17103, 17509, 17552, 17633, 17666, 18335, 18364, 18962, 19046, 19057, 19073, 19286, 20000, 20004, 20145, 20172, 20211, 20400, 20495, 20721, 21012, 21111, 21207, 21234, 21243, 21333, 21504, 21755, 21896, 22017, 22101, 22233, 22314, 22323, 22332, 22358, 22378, 22385, 22413, 22495, 22530, 22547, 22583, 22594, 22745, 22853, 22873, 23133, 23142, 23223, 23232, 23313, 23322, 23331, 23421, 23458, 23520, 23528, 23548, 23582, 23782, 23825, 23827, 23852, 24051, 24132, 24257, 24275, 24321, 24385, 24509, 24529, 24758, 24835, 24952, 24987, 25157, 25238, 25283, 25328, 25384, 25429, 25472, 25487, 25559, 25571, 25595, 25724, 25832, 25834, 25942, 25955, 26778, 26981, 27021, 27102, 27238, 27283, 27452, 27515, 27524, 27687, 27845, 27867, 27894, 27900, 28235, 28253, 28325, 28327, 28453, 28479, 28532, 28543, 28574, 28619, 28732, 28776, 29054, 29168, 29245, 29254, 29555, 29700, 29748, 30171, 30179, 30566, 30575, 30665, 30900, 31100, 31107, 31134, 31233, 31323, 31332, 31355, 31358, 31385, 31400, 31413, 31422, 31440, 31510, 31637, 31646, 31684, 31763, 31907, 32124, 32133, 32223, 32232, 32241, 32258, 32285, 32287, 32313, 32322, 32331, 32528, 32728, 32825, 32845, 32854, 32960, 33123, 33132, 33141, 33176, 33213, 33222, 33231, 33312, 33321, 33335, 33353, 33515, 33518, 33533, 33569, 33671, 33789, 33815, 33965, 33987, 34100, 34166, 34212, 34258, 34311, 34410, 34582, 34599, 34700, 34861, 35153, 35183, 35248, 35282, 35333, 35482, 35507, 35531, 35606, 35693, 35822, 35831, 35936, 35949, 35996, 35999, 36056, 36065, 36137, 36359, 36395, 36418, 36461, 36506, 36614, 36713, 36920, 36995, 37011, 37055, 37091, 37316, 37361, 37400, 37700, 37799, 37822, 37893, 37938, 37979, 38146, 38153, 38252, 38272, 38379, 38397, 38425, 38522, 38524, 38531, 39495, 39536, 39569, 39599, 39653, 39659, 39738, 39797, 39873, 39900, 39954, 39959, 39977, 39995
