    Why not just make that out of a flat piece of metal, or even a plank of wood though? Why bother with the very complicated 3D shape that took a lot more work to make?

      Are all the sides equal on this dodecahedron? Maybe its for multiple coin types?

        The holes through the holes are usually different sizes but I don’t think any two examples are exactly alike. And you could have a board with several holes drilled in it to test multiple coin types.

        Also, did the Roman empire issue 12 different sizes of coin?
