Claudius. AD 41-54. Æ Quadrans (17mm, 3.54 g, 7h). Rome mint. Hand left, holding scales; PNR below / Legend around large S C. RIC I 91; von Kaenel Type 68. Good VF, brown patina, light porosity and minor roughness.
The meaning of the P N R on the obverse is not entirely clear. It should perhaps be expanded to Pondus Nummi Restitutum, referring to a monetary reform.
