| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bridled horse's head facing right, rendered in a vigorous Italic style with the bridle clearly delineated along the muzzle and cheek. The civic legend COZANO, reading the ethnic of the colony of Cosa, is distributed around the central device in the field. A pellet or annulet is visible in the lower left field, likely serving as a value mark. The composition is characteristic of Romano-Campanian and allied bronze coinage of the mid-third century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cosa was a Latin colony planted by Rome in 273 BC on the Etrurian coast, the same year the town was founded — meaning this issue dates to the earliest possible moment of the settlement's existence. Colonial Latin mints of this period operated under Roman authorization but retained limited autonomous coinage rights, and Cosa's bronze series is among the smallest and most geographically isolated of any Latin colony. The quartuncia fraction itself implies a functioning local market economy almost from the first year of habitation.
