Lead Coins for the poor
It is believed that lead coins were minted to be given out to the poor so that could buy food and basic needs.
The design, very worn on this coin because lead does not hold up well after 2,000 years, is similiar to bronze coins minted at the time.

Lead coins with circle designs.
They have also found some interesting lead coins with circles. These are very rare and only a handful currently are known to exist.
I am glad that they wanted to help the poor get food with these coins!
