| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain incuse field bearing the numeral 'I' in archaic Latin notation, denoting the denomination of 1 As. The mark of value is incised in a shallow, unadorned punch, centrally placed within the flat reverse field. The surface is largely plain and undecorated aside from the single value indicator, consistent with the minimalist reverse style characteristic of early Populonian silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Populonia, the only Etruscan city known to have struck its own coinage directly from locally smelted ore, drew on iron deposits from Elba to fund a mint that operated with striking independence from the broader Etruscan confederation. The As denomination in silver is itself an anomaly — most Mediterranean polities of this period were moving toward bronze for fractional coinage, making Populonia's continued reliance on silver fractions an artifact of its unusual mineral wealth rather than any monetary conservatism.
The Vecchi-III reference gap signals an unclassified or provisionally attributed piece, placing it outside the established die-study sequence.
