From the Jonathan P. Rosen Collection. Ex Gemini XI (12 January 2014), lot 378 (hammer of $800).
A temple to Juno Moneta (Juno "the Advisor") was dedicated on the Capitoline Hill in 344 BC and its grounds served as Rome's first mint. The association between this temple and the minting of coinage was such that the English words "mint," "money," and "monetary" derive from "moneta."
