Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with the wheel on one side and the anchor on the other. This combination has been interpreted as representing the connection between the land and sea, reflecting the Etruscan civilization's strong maritime tradition and their role as skilled navigators and traders.
