Italian numismatist and archaeologist Filippo Paruta (1552–1629) and [[Leonardo Agostini]] (1593–1676) reported on a bronze coin in Sicily with the portrait of Archimedes on the obverse and a cylinder and sphere with the monogram ARMD in Latin on the reverse.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Paruta |first1=Filippo |url=https://dn720400.ca.archive.org/0/items/lasiciliadifilip00paru/lasiciliadifilip00paru.pdf |title=La Sicilia descritta con medaglie |last2=Agostini |first2=Leonardo |publisher=Marco Maier |year=1697 |publication-date=1697 |pages=73, 326 |language=it |trans-title=Sicily described by medals |access-date=2025-01-20}}</ref> Although the coin is now lost and its date is not precisely known, [[Ivo Schneider]] described the reverse as "a sphere resting on a base – probably a rough image of one of the planetaria created by Archimedes," and suggested it might have been minted in Rome for Marcellus who "according to ancient reports, brought two spheres of Archimedes with him to Rome".<ref>{{Cite book |last=Schneider |first=Ivo |title=Archimedes.
