Anonymous. After 211 BC. Æ Quadrans (22mm, 7.32 g, 6h). Second Punic War half-weight, overstrike series. Mint in Sardinia. Helmeted head of Minerva right; •••• (mark of value) above / Prow of galley right; •••• (mark of value) below. Crawford 56/4 var. (full weight, not overstruck); Sydenham –; Type as RBW 207; McCabe Group H1. VF, dark brown surfaces with touches of green. Well struck.

From the Andrew McCabe Collection.

Cr. 56/4 variety, half-weight anonymous triens. McCabe (Essays Russo, 2013) pp. 175-180, type H1, very similar die style to coin H1.Tr.7, which shows clear overstrike evidence, thus this coin is most likely a Sardinian or Sicilian Second Punic War overstrike. [A. McCabe]
