Metals and denominations During the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, coins in Spain were made of silver and bronze, except the imperial gold issues attributed to Patricia (RIC 50-153) and Caesaraugusta (RIC 26-49). The ternary bronze (copper, tin and lead) was mostly used in both provinces, as in the Mediterranean at this time; pure copper has also been recorded in Celtiberian mints and an alloy of copper and lead was found in some issues of Castulo, Obulco, Ikalesken and Kelin. The identification of the native bronze denominations is HISPANIA VLTERIOR HISPANIA CITERIOR complex, because the Roman names of denominations were not suitable, due to the variations of weight with respect to the Roman standard, presumably because native bronze coinages had a local intention. At the outset, many issues were minted following a high weight average, around 20-24 g, but later, those coinages articulated around 9-13 g tended to be more common. However, it seems that the bronze coinage tended to follow the Roman standard using weights easily convertible to Roman denominations. Copper alloys Copper Copper & lead Copper, lead & tin 24
