Claudius' bronze coinage in 41 (not yet P P) was produced not only at Rome, but also at other branch mints in the provinces. Besombes and Barrandon identified the official branch mints as:
- Spain I (mint in military camp, Leon region, Astorga), dedicated to the military units in Spain
- Spain II (Tarraco), known from the La Pobla de Mafumet hoard
- Gaul (Lugdunum?).
