My coolest uncia with a club on deck.

Here is an Uncia, Crawford 38/6; Sydenham 86 that I just purchased.

 

What is the diameter? What is the date range?

 

Anonymous Uncia 19mm., AE4.11gm
Helmeted Head of Roma R.
Prow of Galley R.
Rome Mint
Crawford 41/10, Sydenham 108

 

Date-217-215 BC
Size-23.96mm
Weight-14.71 grams

 

Ooooh, that's what it's supposed to look like!

Anonymous Roman Republic, 217-215 BC
AE Uncia, Rome mint
Obverse: Helmeted head of Roma left, one pellet behind.
Reverse: ROMA above prow right, one pellet below.
References: Crawford 38/6
Size: 25mm, 14.53g
Struck and circulated during period Hannibal was “at the gates of Rome”.

 

We haven't had an example of Cr. 35/6 so far (I think):




ATB,

This was such a great thread I thought I'd keep it going. Just today got this Penny Dreadful that I think is an Uncia - but I am not sure. I have very little experience with RR AE stuff. It weighs 6.37 grams and is 20 mm.

I'm not even sure I have the right denomination. I think I see a grain ear above the prow on the reverse, and a single dot.

My initial guess is that it is Crawford 42/4a Anonymous AE uncia, 214-212 BC. Helmeted head of Roma right, o behind. / ROMA Prow right, grain ear above, o below. Sicilian mint. Punic War issue? I'm not sure.



Any help greatly appreciated.

 

You got it right. Sicilian with corn ear uncia.

 

Many thanks, Andrew! I do appreciate it.
