| Reverse description | The reverse field bears a centrally placed Etruscan inscription in three lines, flanked above and below by a pair of smith's tongs rendered in relief, the principal attribute of Sethlans. Below the legend, two additional symbols — possibly pincers or further workshop tools — are arranged symmetrically, reinforcing the divine association with metalworking and the forge. The bold, archaic rendering of the Etruscan letters and the tool emblems together form a highly distinctive reverse type unique to the Populonian Sethlans series. The coin is struck on an irregular flan with no border. |
