| Obverse description | Radiate head of Usil (the Etruscan sun deity), facing right, rendered in archaic Etruscan style with strong facial features and radiating crown depicted as a series of rays emanating from the head. The numeral denoting the denomination appears in the field to the left of the effigy. The style is characteristic of Populonian coinage of the middle Republican period, with a bold, slightly crude die-cut typical of hammered Etruscan silver. |
