Comment
Only six examples are known.Interesting fact
The Obol coin from Vulci (Etruria) was used as a form of currency in ancient Etruria, which was a civilization that existed in central Italy before the rise of the Roman Empire. The coin features an image of a lion's head on one side and a wheel on the other, which symbolized the city of Vulci and its connection to the Etruscan goddess of the underworld, Vanth. The use of silver in the coin's production was significant, as it represented a valuable resource that was highly prized in ancient times. Despite its small size, the Obol coin played an important role in the economy of ancient Etruria, and its design has been studied and admired by numismatists for centuries.
