Three pellets arranged around the frog serve as value marks denoting the quadrans denomination. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with cast bronze production of the period. |

The cast bronze coinages of uncertain Central Italian mints present persistent attribution problems that have occupied scholars since Haeberlin's foundational typological work in the early twentieth century. This quadrans falls into a cluster of heavy aes grave issues whose city of origin remains unresolved — the candidates include several Samnite and Latin communities whose monetary output overlapped considerably during the Second and Third Samnite Wars.
At this weight, the piece conforms to the uncial or pre-reduction Roman standard before the Hannibalic War forced successive debasements that collapsed cast bronze coinage almost entirely by the late third century.
