Etruria, Populonia Æ Uncia. Late 3rd century BC. Head of Sethluns right, •• behind / Etruscan legend 'vetalv pvflvna', hammer and tongs, •• between. EC I, 132.7 (this coin); HN Italy 188; Sambon 120. 11.90g, 23mm, 2h.

Very Fine, weakly struck and pitted. Very Rare, no examples on CoinArchives.

From the VCV Collection.

The interpretation of vetalv as a personal name is more probable than that of Vetulonia, while pvflvna would seem to be a variant of the city's name preferred by the magistrate, cf. TLE 379 and 794.
