<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bcuda, post: 6683476, member: 105389&quot;]These were minted in Spain in Corduba I assume for Cnaeus to pay his soldiers while fighting against Caesar. With that probably being the case I do not think quality control was a big priority for these and would explain why this type is usually in very poor condition as [USER=90666]@Andrew McCabe[/USER] states in His post above.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if this coin of Cnaeus might be the last of this type minted with Janus on the obverse and the roman galley on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also on the quality control part that might explain some as to why there is such a big difference in weight in just one year or so of minting these. for example my coin of 14.45 grams and the coin that [USER=108806]@Alwin[/USER] posted is 22.78 grams, that is 8.33 grams difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
