Aanvullende informatie

Populonia, the only Etruscan city-state known to have minted its own coinage directly from locally smelted ore, produced this bronze issue during a decade defined by the catastrophic pressures of the Second Punic War. Hannibal's campaigns through central Italy disrupted regional economies profoundly enough that many Etruscan communities abandoned independent monetary production entirely. Populonia did not.

The incuse technique on this series — where the design is impressed into the flan rather than raised — reflects an archaic Etruscan minting tradition that Populonia retained long after it had been abandoned elsewhere in Italy.
