Roman Coin Sizes, Metals, and Language

Northwest Territorial Mint: Did You Know? Roman legends are in Latin which uses our usual alphabet. Many of the words will remind you of English words. The coins were minted in silver, copper, or gold. Of course, the lower denominations in copper and silver are more common.
