Roman copper alloy irregular as of Claudius (41-54), Minerva reverse type, 43-60 AD. The coin has been pierced with a worn, circular piercing near the rim at 5 o'clock on the obverse and 12 o'clock on the reverse. Many copies of Claudian period asses were struck in Britain in the decades following the invasion of AD 43. 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…
