Ancients - 2 Unit Denomination; Anyone have any TWOs?

How about 2 coins -- one of each -- a 1/2 and a 2? To top it off, both temp. 2nd Punic War...

Punic Spain, the Barcids, temp. Second Punic War. Halved AR Shekel or "Drachm/Denarius" (4.09g). Cathago Nova (?), circa 237-209 BCE (temp. Hannibal, 218-206?).
One might speculate that after Hannibal was expelled from Iberia, this Shekel was subjected to a "currency conversion," interestingly, cut to substantially more than "half," more like ~62% of a 6.65g original Shekel, assuming the missing half was of equal thickness/density.

Latin Colonies & Allies of Rome, temp. Second Punic War. Northern Apulia, Luceria AE Aes Grave Biunx (cast, 17.86g, 26mm [9mm thick], 3h). Struck circa 217-212. Shell / Astralagus [knucklebone]. L and two pellets (mark of value).
I'm sure others here know better than I do where the Aes Grave and other coinage cast or struck at Luceria circulated. My understanding is that a major Roman mint was located there during the 2nd Punic war. Were these coins cast at Luceria for local coinage, for use by Romans, or both?

​

The bronze denominations of Cleopatra in Egypt were the full-unit, at an average weight of about 17 grams, and the half-unit, at an average weight of 8.5 grams. There were considerable variations of this standard.
Newell considered the portraits on these Egyptian two bronze denominations to be the most realistic.
