Cr  25/7  Æ cast Quadrans "Sickle series"
Rome, c. 241-235 b.c.e.
o: Right hand with open palm; in l. field, three pellets (value), in r. field, sickle
r: Three pellets (value) between two barley-grains
68.5 gm
   This series repeats the Cr 14 types, with the addition of a sickle.  However, this issue, was produced some 30-40 years later on a lighter weight standard:  the "14" were based on an As of approx  332 gms, but this issue was about 272 gm As.  Extremely close readers of this gallery will note that my "14" specimens are actually lighter-weight average than my "25/sickles".   
   Although I am not a pedigree fanatic, my posted 25/sickle coins are in the pedigreed camp:   
      NAC Auction 61 (RBW Collection), lot 23; NAC Auction 7, 1994 (purchased by RBW), lot 342; RBW 44 (this coin)
