Comment
Some say these coins are from Pallanum; others say these may be from Paeligni.Interesting fact
The Æ18 coin from Pallanum (Frentani) is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized head of a mythical creature, possibly a Griffin, on the obverse (front side), and a wheel with eight spokes on the reverse (back side). This design is unlike any other coin from the same time period, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
