Comment
No Light type equivalents to the 1 As piece are known.Interesting fact
The 1 As coin from Tuder (Umbria) was used as a form of currency during the Roman Republic, and its design was standardized across different regions to facilitate trade and commerce. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the 1 As coin was considered a heavy coin due to its large size and weight, which made it valuable for large transactions.
