正面描述 Lion's head facing left in three-quarter view, rendered in bold archaic style with pronounced mane indicated by incised striations radiating around the face. The head is set within a raised dotted border (beaded circle) occupying the central field of the flan. The modelling is vigorous and stylised, characteristic of early Etruscan coinage from Populonia, with open jaws and deeply incised facial features.

附加信息

Populonia, the only Etruscan city known to have struck its own coinage directly — rather than relying on Greek mints or traded currency — began issuing silver around the early fifth century BC, almost certainly driven by the iron trade through the port at what is now Piombino. The city's direct access to Elban ore made metalworking a civic industry, and the mint appears to have operated with unusual independence from broader Etruscan commercial networks.

The lion type sits among the earliest of Populonia's denominations, preceding the later and more numerous 20- and 10-as series. Vecchi's classification places this issue firmly within the archaic phase, and the correspondences across HN Italy and the SNG Firenze holdings confirm a relatively stable die tradition for the type despite the small production volume implied by surviving specimens.
