Comment
Weight varies from 18.15g-25.95gInteresting fact
The Uncia coin from the Roman Republic (509 BC - 27 BC) has an interesting fact that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Roman leader, in this case, the image of the Roman goddess Roma. This was a departure from the traditional depiction of gods and goddesses on coins and signified the growing power and influence of the Roman state.
