| Beschrijving voorzijde | Six-spoked wheel depicted in high relief at center of the field, enclosed within a plain raised border circle. The hub is rendered as a prominent central pellet, from which six curved spokes radiate outward to the rim of the wheel, each terminating in a teardrop-shaped finial. The overall design fills the flan with confident, stylized craftsmanship characteristic of Etruscan bronze coinage of the late 3rd century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The wheel and anchor pairing on this fractional bronze has long frustrated attribution efforts — no Etruscan city has been definitively linked to the type, and the mint remains unresolved despite decades of scholarly debate. What is clear is that production falls within the period of Rome's escalating dominance over Etruria, when local bronze coinage was increasingly squeezed out by the expanding Roman monetary system. The anchor, appearing on several unattributed central Italian bronzes of this period, may signal maritime commercial interests, though the exact community behind the issue remains open.
