| Reverse description | A six-petalled star or rosette is positioned centrally within a crescent, the horns of which point upward, framing the stellar motif. The ethnic legend PVLPVNA (an archaic form of Populonia) is disposed around the central device in the field, reading in retrograde Etruscan-influenced Latin script. The overall composition is enclosed within a beaded border. The design elements are rendered in low to medium relief typical of hammered Etruscan silver issues. |
