Comments

Only one example is known, first published by da Rassegna Numismatica in 1904, but with an unrecorded weight.

The theoretical weight of the 1 sextans piece is 54.35 grams, whereas the actual recorded weight is 53.78 grams; the theoretical weight of the 1 quadrans piece is 81.86 grams, which should be close to the actual weight.

Some sources say this coin was struck circa 270 BC.
