Comment
Weight can vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a Roman consul, C. Junius C.f., on one side, and the image of a jug and lituus (a ritualistic object used by augurs) on the other side. This suggests that the coin was minted during a time when the Roman Republic was placing a strong emphasis on the importance of religion and divination in governance.
