Etruria, Populonia AR Diobol (?). Late 4th - 3rd century BC. Head of Silenus facing / Blank. Cf. EC I, 123. 1-3; HN Italy 232; SNG ANS 23. 0.64g, 10mm.
Extremely Fine. Unique and unpublished.
From the collection of a Swiss Etruscologist, and outside of Italy prior to December 1992.
An important addition to the corpus of Etruscan numismatics, the die for this previously unknown silver fraction was engraved in an elegant style, evidently by an artist who was no stranger to facing portrait design - as well we might expect of Populonia.
