| Reverse description | Plain field divided by two horizontal lines, each terminating in a pair of pellets at either end, forming a pattern of value marks consistent with the triens (four pellets total arranged in groups). The Etruscan ethnic legend PVPLVNA is inscribed in retrograde Etruscan characters across the central band, reading from right to left. Four additional pellets appear in the lower portion of the field, reinforcing the denomination mark. The overall composition is austere and emblematic, typical of Populonian civic bronze coinage. |
