| Beschrijving keerzijde | A horse prancing or galloping to the right, depicted with vigorous naturalistic energy, its mane and tail rendered in detailed strands. A rider or figure appears above the horse, consistent with known examples of this type. A small star or floral symbol is visible in the lower left field. The Etruscan legend FELCNANI is inscribed below the horse along the exergue, identifying the issuing city of Volsinii. The overall composition reflects Hellenistic artistic conventions adapted by Etruscan die engravers. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Volsinii — modern Orvieto — was one of the principal cities of the Etruscan League, and this issue belongs to a narrow window of Etruscan gold coinage produced under intense pressure from Rome's expanding reach across central Italy. The city fell to Roman forces in 265 BC, its population forcibly relocated, and the mint ceased entirely. Coins struck here exist in very small numbers precisely because the issuing authority was destroyed, not merely absorbed.
The as-based denomination system used by Etruscan mints reflects deliberate alignment with Roman monetary reckoning — a political calculation, not coincidence.
