| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, uninscribed reverse with a smooth, irregular cast surface, consistent with the designation of this piece as a 'blank' type within Series I of the Vetulonian coinage. The surface shows no intentional design or legend, displaying only the natural texture of the cast bronze flan. Minor surface irregularities and casting flaws are visible, typical of Etruscan aes grave production of this period. The lack of reverse type is a defining characteristic of this emission and distinguishes it from other Vetulonian uncia issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vetulonia, one of the twelve cities of the Etruscan League, struck this bronze series at a moment when Rome's monetary system was in open crisis — the catastrophic defeat at Lake Trasimene in 217 BC had shattered confidence in the Roman treasury and forced emergency renegotiation of tributary and allied coinage arrangements across central Italy. Whether Vetulonia struck on its own initiative or under some degree of Roman pressure remains debated, but the timing is not coincidental.
