Anyone who collects Republican bronze knows that you really have no choice but to collect problem coins and many of what I think are the most interesting coins of the series only ever come as problem coins. This particular one is in really great condition for the type, but even so is rough with some detail obscured from being overstruck. There&#039;s also a small chip on Athena&#039;s helmet which scared me(thinking it might be corrosion) at first but you can see it in the picture from Vecchi sale 3 in 1996 so it is stable</p><p><br /></p><p>ID: Roman Republic Æ Triens(20.5mm, 5.75g), anonymous, after 211 BC. Helmeted head of Minerva right; above, four pellets / ROMA Prow right; below four pellets. cf. Crawford 56/4. McCabe group H1(halfweight overstrikes). Ex. Fallani(Vecchi sale 3, 1996, lot 124)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
