Something a bit different.
Lead Tessera
Obverse: Victory advancing right with wreath and palm.
Reverse: Fortuna standing left holding rudder and cornucopia.
22mm, 5.1gm

If anyone can provide any additional information or attribution it would be appreciated. I don't know much about these but could not pass it up ;D

I know this is an old thread, but I found an attribution for it.

Coin #318 in Römische Bleimarken in der Staatlichen Münzsammlung München.  Eine Quelle zur Sozial- und Wirtschaftgeschichte Roms. Overbeck. Munich, 1995.

Described as standing l. holding rudder & cornucopia on the obverse, the reverse as Victory advancing r., holding wreath and lance(?) (Not too sure on the German for that last part) The cataloged one is only 14mm, however.
