<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 8237422, member: 74282&quot;]There are actually some tiny ones from Southeast Italy that are in this size range. Anywhere from about 2-6 grams. Many are imitations but some are no doubt official as the style is spot on for the full weight issues. This is not mine but was in NAC 92. I have an example from similar or possibly the same dies but need to photograph it:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1449402[/ATTACH] </p><p>Description from NAC:</p><p>Reduced as, Canusium (?) 211-207, Æ 4.72 g. Laureate head of Janus; above, mark of value set horizontally. Rev. Prow r.; above mark of value, before P and below, ROMA. Sydenham –. Crawford 99/10.</p><p><br /></p><p>Extremely Rare. Brown-green patina and very fine</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has an indistinct P mintmark before the prow and it shares an obverse die with Crawford pl.XIX,14. Its obverse style is akin to Crawford pl.XIX,12,13 and its reverse style is akin to Crawford pl.XIX,13. Andrew McCabe at the International Numismatic Congress in Taormina 2015 demonstrated that Crawford 99 types with P mintmark were likely minted in Canusium – rather than Luceria as previously assumed. Most, if not all, lightweight asses in official styles appear stylistically related to the P or CA series, rather than the L series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
