Comment
Based on the weight, this type is probably a 1 Tressis piece (3 Asses).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Tressis (301 BC - 201 BC) from Uncertain city of Central Italy made of Bronze weighing 906.05 g is that it features a unique blend of Greek and Roman influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears a depiction of a helmeted head of Athena, while the reverse side features a representation of a dolphin, which was a common motif in ancient Greek coinage. However, the coin's overall design and style are more characteristic of Roman coins, indicating the cultural exchange and blending that occurred during this time period. This coin serves as a fascinating example of the artistic and cultural exchange that took place in the ancient Mediterranean world.
