Cr 18/2 Anonymous (Apollo/Apollo series) Æ cast Semis

ca. 275-270 b.c.e. Rome
o: Pegasus right, "S" below
r: Pegasus left, "S" below
150.08 gms
This first "Apollo/Apollo" series is a bit heavier than the second (Cr. 26) and is associated with the Apollo/Horse "Romano" didrachms (Cr, 15) minted outside of Rome. (The lighter second series bears an acorn symbol on each side, associated with Apollo/Horse "Roma" didrachms, and is considerably rarer.)
This specimen is quite nice and is just a bit on the light side; I suspect there is a sub-surface casting void around 5:00 obverse.
