Etruria, Populonia AR Unit. 4th century BC. Amphora / Large I. Unpublished and unique, for obverse type cf. EC I, 129. 0.66g, 9mm.
Good Very Fine. Unique.
From the collection of a Swiss Etruscologist, and outside of Italy prior to December 1992.
This newly discovered series with a clear mark of value seems to be on a similar silver unit weight standard to series EC I, 12-16 and 17-19. The use of an amphora as the principal design should of course not surprise us conisdering its appearance on EC I, 129 and of course (albeit in more elaborate form) on EC I, series 1-3 formerly attributed to Pisae.
