Italy about 280 BC had bullion value cast bronze coins. Some were issued by the Roman Republic and some by cities under Roman control. The 4 coins below are the same denomination, 2 dots. The left coins are bullion value (over 327 grams per As). The right coins are fiat or fiduciary (1/4 the weight). </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446989[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
