Etruria, Populonia Æ Uncia. Late 3rd century BC. Head of Sethluns right, •• behind / Etruscan legend 'vetalv pvflvna', hammer and tongs, •• between. EC I, 132; HN Italy 188; Sambon 120. 16.59g, 29mm, 4h.

Very Fine, weakly struck. Very Rare, only one other example on CoinArchives.

From the collection of Z.P., Austria.

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.
