| Reversbeschreibung | Two pellets serving as the value mark for the sextans (⅙ as) positioned centrally within the field, surrounded by a retrograde or partially legible Etruscan legend reading VELA-ΘRI, interpreted as the ethnic of Volaterrae. The inscription is arranged around the central value marks in a circular fashion. The lettering is rendered in a combination of Etruscan and Greek-influenced characters, reflecting the bilingual epigraphic tradition of northern Etruscan minting centers. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical casting roughness consistent with early Etruscan bronze production. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Volaterrae — modern Volterra in Tuscany — was among the northernmost Etruscan cities to produce struck bronze coinage, and its issues are notably scarce compared to the prolific mints of Etruria's southern centers. This sextans belongs to a value series almost certainly produced to facilitate military logistics and mercenary payments during a period when Rome was consolidating control over the region through the Second Punic War's precursor conflicts. Production at Volaterrae appears to have been short-lived and deliberately limited.
The Haeberlin reference places this piece within aes grave tradition, though Volaterrae's fabric sits closer to central Italian struck bronze than true cast coinage.
