| Reverse description | Incuse six-pointed star occupying the central field, deeply struck into the flan in the characteristic incuse technique employed by the Populonian mint. The star's six radiating points are evenly spaced and cleanly defined within the recessed design. The surrounding field is plain, and the overall impression reflects the archaic hammered coinage tradition of Etruria. The incuse style is a hallmark of this series of Populonian bronzes. |
