This Roman coin keyring is made from lead-free pewter then bronzed and supplied on a quality key-chain. The reproduction bronze plated Dupondius coin of Nero was struck between 54-68 AD and shows the head of Emperor Nero on the obverse and Roma in military dress on the reverse.
Roman currency for most of Roman history consisted of gold, silver, bronze and copper coinage. From its introduction to the Republic, during the third century BC, well into Imperial times, Roman currency saw many changes in form, denomination, and composition. The bronze As was introduced in 280BC and was used until around 250 AD. The bronze Dupondius was introduced later in 23 BC and was also used until around 250 AD.
