Comment
Only three examples are known with the letter H to the right of the anchor.Interesting fact
The Hatrian Uncia coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a Roman city during the Roman Republic period. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a unique combination of symbols, including a helmeted head of Athena on the obverse (front side) and a griffin on the reverse (back side). The use of these symbols suggests that the city of Hatria was heavily influenced by Greek culture, which is not surprising given its location in the region of Picenum, which was known for its strong Greek influences.
