Etruria, Populonia AR Drachm(?). 3rd century BC. Radiate head of Usil facing / Blank. EC I, 117.1 (this coin, O1); HN Italy -; Sambon -. 3.96g, 16mm.
Good Very Fine; boasting an attractive old cabinet tone. Seemingly unique, unrecorded in all reference works save EC.

Silver issues without marks of value are denominated with traditional Greek terms, hence the use of 'drachm' in this case. The crudeness of style here may imply a contemporary imitative issue, but it is certainly based on a known Etruscan issue (EC 1, 118).
