Silver 1 As Cerberus

Luca — ancient Lucca in northwestern Etruria — produced this diminutive silver as during a period when the region was absorbing competing monetary influences from both Greek colonial coinage to the south and the expanding Roman monetary system to the east. The Cerberus type is catalogued by Vecchi as one of the rarer issues from this mint, and Jameson's example in the 1924 Paris collection remains a principal reference specimen.
