Selling an authentic piece of Roman economic history. This is a bronze "Barbarous Radiate" (AE Minim) minted locally around 270-285AD during the famous "Crisis of the Third Century" when official Roman imperial mint production collapsed and small change became scarce, local provincial citizens and blacksmiths in Gaul and Britain struck their own emergency token currency to keep everyday trade alive. Because they were hand-carved by local artisans rather than the state mint, each coin is a completely unique piece of ancient folk art. Coin Specifications: A late 3rd-century AD (c.270-285) 1.8 grams and 13.5mm diameter (nice, chunky planchet for this type) The obverse (front) features a stylized profile of a breakaway Ramano-Galic Emperor (likely Tetricus I or Claudius Gothicus) showing the distinct "spikes" of an imperial radiate crown. The reverse (back) shows an abstract, highly stylized profile geometric engraving imitating a Roman deity or sacrificial alter. This is an excellent, budget-friendly entry piece for an ancient coin collections, a historical display, or unique gift for a history buff. $35
