| 背面描述 | A trident, depicted upright in the center of the field, flanked symmetrically on either side by a dolphin rendered in profile. A single pellet appears in the field to the left and to the right of the trident, forming the two-dot value mark characteristic of the sextans denomination. No legend is present. The design is executed in the bold, somewhat archaic style typical of Etruscan bronze coinage of this period. |

Vetulonia, one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League, issued this bronze coinage during the Second Punic War — the same years Hannibal was wintering in Italy and Rome was scrambling to hold its Italian allies together. The "legend missing" designation refers to the absence of the ethnic inscription found on related issues, a variant documented across the known corpus rather than a matter of wear or damage.
Etruscan civic bronze of this period is genuinely rare in any condition; Vetulonia's output was modest, and the city's subsequent decline under Roman absorption left little reason for later hoarding or collection.
