| Reverse description | Plain, nearly blank reverse with only faint traces of a rough incuse impression, consistent with the primitive hammered technique employed at the Populonian mint during this period. The surface bears the characteristic striations and irregular contours of a simple punch strike, with no intentional figurative design or legend. This minimalist reverse is typical of early Etruscan fractional silver coinage from Populonia, where the primary artistic effort was concentrated entirely on the obverse die. |
