| Beschrijving keerzijde | Completely blank, uniface reverse displaying the raw hammered gold flan with no design, legend, or device of any kind. The surface shows the natural texture resulting from the hammering process, with an irregular scalloped flan edge consistent with Populonian gold coinage production of the third century BC. |

Populonia, the only Etruscan city known to have struck its own coinage directly from locally smelted ore, produced this denomination during a period when the Second Punic War was draining precious metal from every mint on the peninsula. The 50-asses value placed this among the highest denominations Populonia ever issued in gold — an unusual monetary commitment for a city-state that was, by this point, already in political and economic decline relative to Rome's expanding dominance over Etruria.
The "Female head series II" designation distinguishes this emission from an earlier typologically similar issue; Vecchi's classification separates them on the basis of die style and fabric rather than any inscriptional difference.
