Comment
Weight: 6.70 g average based on five specimens (RPC I# 1420)Interesting fact
The coin , the Standard circulation coin Æ19 from Peparethus Island (Achaea), is a rare example of a coin that was minted during the reign of Emperor Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD). It's interesting to note that the coin was made of bronze, which was a common material for coins during that time period, but it also contains lead, which was a common additive in bronze coins to increase their durability and resistance to wear and tear. The fact that this coin has survived for over two thousand years and is still in circulation today is a testament to its historical significance and the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire.
