| Beschrijving keerzijde | Completely blank and uniface, with no design, inscription, or incuse impression struck on the reverse. The surface retains the rough, unworked texture of the hammered flan, showing natural metal flow marks and irregularities consistent with Etruscan minting practice of this series. The absence of a reverse type is a defining characteristic of this Populonian denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Populonia, the only Etruscan city known to have struck its own coinage directly from locally smelted iron-ore slag metals, produced this fractional silver during a period of escalating Roman pressure on Etruria. The city's mint was among the most prolific in the region precisely because Populonia controlled the ore deposits of Elba and the smelting operations at its harbor — wealth that simultaneously financed coinage and made the city a military target.
The Vecchi-III reference number is unassigned, suggesting this specific die pairing remains uncatalogued in that corpus.
