| Additional information |
Populonia, on the Etruscan coast of what is now Tuscany, was the only Etruscan city known to have struck its own coinage rather than relying on imported or traded currency. These fractional silver pieces belong to the early phase of that civic mint, before the transition to the heavier cast and struck bronzes for which Populonia is better documented. The Vecchi reference remaining unassigned reflects how poorly understood the finer die relationships within this series still are — attribution often rests on provenance and auction history rather than settled scholarship.
