Roman Republic Æ Quadrans. Publius Manlius Vulso, Praetor of Sardinia, 210 BC. Sardinian mint. Head of Hercules right; above, ••• / Prow right; above, ROMA; (MA) vertical to right; ••• below. Crawford 64/5
Seemingly overstruck on something, probably a sardo-punic bronze, see 9-1 o clock obverse. The sextantes of the Sardinian Praetors are quite common but all larger denominations like this quadrans are very rare.
These are sellers photos for now - will replace with my own when time permits
