| Reverse description | A large central winged thunderbolt rendered in profile, its shaft tapering to points at both ends and flanked by prominent spread wings, occupying the center of the field. Surrounding the central thunderbolt are several smaller thunderbolts arranged symmetrically across the field, creating a dynamic and bold Etruscan decorative composition. The design is executed in the archaic hammered style characteristic of Populonian silver coinage, with deeply incised details. The reverse carries no legend or inscription, relying entirely on symbolic imagery to convey its religious and civic significance. |
