Unlike the other coins of Ariminum, these Quartuncia pieces were struck rather than cast.Interesting fact
The 1 Quartuncia coin from Ariminum (Umbria) was used as a means of payment for everyday transactions, and its value was equivalent to one-fourth of a Roman denarius, which was the standard unit of currency at the time.
