| 表面の説明 | Facing head of Metus (or a gorgoneion-like apotropaic visage) rendered in low relief within a beaded border, the facial features including wide-set eyes, broad nose, and parted lips executed in the archaic Etruscan style characteristic of Populonian bronze coinage. The numeral V, denoting the denomination of 5 centesimae, appears in the field, serving as the primary denominational indicator. The overall fabric is irregularly cast, with a slightly convex flan typical of early Etruscan bronze issues. |

Populonia was the only Etruscan city to strike its own coinage directly from ore smelted on-site, drawing on the iron deposits of Elba just across the channel. This bronze series dates to the final decade before Roman absorption effectively ended independent Etruscan monetary production — a period when Populonia was already a diminished political force but still maintained enough autonomy to issue small denominations for local exchange.
The incuse technique, pressing the design into the flan rather than in relief, is a deliberate archaism by this late date, echoing much older Etruscan bronze casting traditions.
