bronze coin

Small metal currency

A bronze coin is a coin made from bronze, an alloy of copper and tin.

Bronze coins have been minted since antiquity and typically represent lower denominations: The jar contained dozens of ancient bronze coins.

In numismatics, the term distinguishes coins by metal composition rather than face value.
