| Reverse description | Plain, uninscribed reverse showing a broad, shallow incuse punch with an irregular surface, typical of early hammered coinage from Populonia. The incuse exhibits rough, uneven texture with no deliberate design elements, consistent with archaic Etruscan minting technique where the reverse die was simply a plain anvil punch. Traces of metal flow and die contact are visible across the flat field. |
