DescriptionSydenham and Crawford's approximate dates of issue for this coin vary greatly. Badian recognized this coin as a variant of Sydenham's 309a classification. Sydenham's Period IV, circa 155-120 B.C.E., focused on changes in bronze and silver standards. However, Crawford's 100/1b classification challenges the date of issue and places it between 209 - 208 B.C.E. The minter is identified by the mark "CA." Crawford and Sydenham agree that the probable mint location is Canusium. Badian incorrectly labeled this coin as 106/1b.
