Comments
These coins were struck before 268 BC, when the Romans changed Malventum's name to Beneventum.
More information is needed regarding this type's diameter and weight. HN Italy says they are "smaller bronze coins [than those after the name change]", implying they are less than 20 millimetres in diameter.
