| 背面描述 | A scallop shell depicted in high relief at center, its radiating ribs rendered in a naturalistic yet stylized manner characteristic of early Italic bronze coinage. The shell is centrally positioned within the flan, with the ribs fanning outward symmetrically from the hinge point. The surrounding field is plain and irregular, consistent with the cast technique employed for aes grave issues of the Ariminum mint. No legend or exergual inscription is present. |

| 附加信息 |
Ariminum (modern Rimini) was among the earliest Latin colonies to strike its own bronze coinage, authorized following Rome's establishment of the colony in 268 BC — the same year Rome introduced the silver denarius. The colonial mint operated with considerable independence during this window, producing cast and struck bronzes before Rome gradually consolidated monetary authority across the peninsula. The semuncia represents the smallest fractional denomination in this colonial series, and surviving examples at this weight are uncommon; most have shed grams through corrosion or deliberate clipping.
