| Reverse description | A hippocamp displayed in incuse relief, oriented to the right within a shallow incuse square that fills the coin's reverse field. The creature is depicted with a horse's foreparts — including a crested mane and raised forelegs — transitioning into a coiled, scaly fish tail that curls beneath the body. The design is executed with considerable vitality, the incuse technique producing a distinctive recessed image characteristic of Populonian coinage. No legend or additional devices are present in the field. |
