1 Uncia Wheel / Anchor, struck

Aversbeschreibung	A six-spoked wheel design occupying the central field, rendered in low relief with each spoke terminating in a small globular pellet at the rim. The wheel is enclosed within a plain circular border, the overall composition serving as the principal type without accompanying legend or inscription. The design is characteristic of archaic Etruscan bronze coinage, executed in a bold, schematic style typical of the late third century BC.

Zusätzliche Informationen	The attribution "uncertain Etruscan mint" understates a genuine scholarly disagreement — some authorities place this series at Cosa, others at Populonia, and the question has not been resolved. What is clear is that the wheel and anchor types belong to a transitional moment when central Etruscan communities were renegotiating their commercial relationships with Rome under pressure from the Second Punic War's economic disruptions. The uncia denomination signals integration into the Roman libral weight system, even as the iconographic choices remained stubbornly local. Struck rather than cast, which distinguishes it sharply from contemporary Roman aes grave of the same period.
