Eleven piece known according to 2411, page 472.Interesting fact
The Callet (Turdetani people) coin was part of a series of coins issued during the Roman Republic, specifically during the period known as the "Roman Republic, 150-101 BC." These coins were used as a means of payment and were widely accepted throughout the Roman Empire. They were made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at that time, and had a standardized weight and size to ensure consistency in trade and commerce. The fact that this coin was made of bronze and had a specific weight of 19.0 g suggests that it was a widely used and widely accepted form of currency during that time period.
