Islands off Sicily, Melita (Malta),  130-90 BC., Sextans, RPC I p. 180, 2.
Islands off Sicily, Melita (Malta), ca. 130-90 BC., 
Sextans / Æ19 (ø 18-19 mm / 4,48 g), bronze, axes medal alignment ↑↑ (0°), 
Obv.: laureate head of Apollo (or Isis ?) left with three curly locks. 
Rev.: Q , three heads of grain, Q (quaestor?) above center ear; to left, value mark two pellets.
RPC I p. 180, 2 ; Gabrici 262-6 . 

Based on the weights of this series an As of ca. 32 g. can be extrapolated. So they should be attributed to the late 2nd century BC. Calciati lists uncia and quadrans from the same series under Panormos/Sicily. SNG Morcom 888 states "uncertain Sicily". RPC I attributes this to the central Mediterranean but also states that Sardina and even Africa cannot be ruled out for the series.
