Crawford 085/1, ROMAN REPUBLIC, H Series, AR Quinarius
Rome, The Republic. 
H Series, 211-210 BCE.
AR Quinarius (2.3g; 17mm).
Rome mint.

Obverse:  Roma wearing helmet with splayed visor, facing right; V (mark-of-value = 5 asses) behind.

Rev: Dioscuri galloping right; H below horses; ROMA in exergue.

References:  Crawford 85/1a; Sydenham 174; BMCRR (Italy) 199.

Provenance:  Ex Student and Mentor Collection [NAC 73 (18 Nov 2013), Lot 32]; ex Nicolas Collection [Leu 17 (1977) Lot 41].

The H quinarii should be divided into multiple series, because several distinct styles have become apparent which are not contemporaneous per the hoard evidence.  This particular coin is from the earliest phase, notable for its splayed visor and simple necklace on obverse, and “large” H and raised horse tail on reverse.
