| Reverse description | Plain, incuse reverse with no intentional design, exhibiting irregular surface striations and tool marks characteristic of the hammered coinage technique employed at Populonia during the fourth century BC. The flan is notably flat and uneven, with visible flow lines from the striking process. No legend, symbol, or device is present, consistent with the reverse treatment of early Etruscan silver coinage of this series. |
