Roman copper alloy irregular as of Claudius (41-54), Minerva reverse type, 43-60 AD.

This was because there was a serious shortage of small change for the up to 50,000 or so Roman soldiers in the Province to use. It is now reckoned that many of these coins were in fact semi-official, being struck at legionary bases such as Colchester. The "Mi…
