Aanvullende informatie

Populonia's bronze fractional coinage is among the least understood of all Etruscan issues — the city's mint operated independently long after most neighboring centers had folded into Roman monetary arrangements, which partly explains the persistence of these small denominations into the late third century. The incuse technique, pressing the design into the flan rather than raising it, is a archaic holdover already centuries out of fashion elsewhere in Italy by this point.

The star variant distinguishes this piece within the series as catalogued by Vecchi and Samboni, likely reflecting sequential die production rather than any denominational distinction.
