| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing gorgoneion (Medusa head) rendered in archaic style, depicted full-face at center with prominent staring eyes, broad flat nose, and open mouth revealing teeth in the characteristic apotropaic grimace. The hair is rendered as serpentine locks radiating outward from the crown and falling to either side of the face. The design is boldly struck in high relief against a plain field, enclosed within a linear border following the irregular flan edge. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Populonia occupied a unique position among Etruscan cities as the only one known to have struck its own coinage directly — most Etruscan centers relied on imported or regionally shared issues. The city's wealth derived from iron smelting, fed by ore shipped from the island of Elba, and the mint's output reflects that industrial prosperity across several centuries of production.
The Vecchi II classification places this among the later silver fractions as Rome's grip on northern Etruria tightened, with Populonia's mint likely ceasing operation sometime around the Second Punic War period.
