Grade:     Fine
Notes:     Could be a reverse die match to the Rec. Gen. specimen pictured on Plate C, No. 19. Although the present coin has been labeled "bronze," the color of the exposed metal suggests brass. This observation, combined with the large diameter and radiate head, suggests further that the intended denomination was a dupondius.
