| Reverse description | Plain reverse bearing the incuse legend PVPL in Latin characters, identifying the issuing city of Populonia, impressed into the flat or slightly concave field as a result of the hammered striking technique. The surface is largely plain with the legend serving as the sole design element, typical of the second series of Populonian silver coinage. The flan is irregular and shows the characteristic roughness of hand-struck ancient coinage. |
