| Obverse description | Bare male head in profile facing right, rendered in archaic Etruscan style with summary facial features. The numeral mark indicating the denomination (V, signifying one-half) appears in the field to the right or behind the head. The die work is characteristic of the Populonian silver series, with the head occupying the majority of the flan. The coin exhibits the irregular, somewhat crude flan typical of hammered Etruscan issues of this period. |
