Anonymous. 135-125 BC. Æ Quadrans (18.5mm, 3.66 g, 5h). Rome mint. Head of Hercules right, wearing lion-skin headdress; ••• (mark of value) to left / Prow of galley right; ••• (mark of value) to right. Crawford 272/2; Sydenham –; Type as RBW 1092-3. VF, attractive olive green patina.

From the Andrew McCabe Collection. Ex English Amateur Scholar Collection Duplicate (not in Numismatica Ars Classica 92), who purchased it in August 1986.

This quadrans correctly belongs to RRC 272, unlike the illustrated RRC 272/1, pl. XXXIX, no. 2, which is a misplaced RRC 197-189B issue. Scarce. [Andrew McCabe]
