About the Roman Medallion

Roman medallions are oversized coins struck for presentation or commemorative purposes rather than circulation. They were given as imperial gifts and survive in very small numbers. Medallions are prized for their exceptional artistic quality and historical significance.

About the Rome Mint

The Rome mint was the principal mint of the Roman state from the Republic through the fall of the Western Empire. It produced the vast majority of gold and silver coinage and was the only mint for much of the first and second centuries AD.
