Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Etruscan and Greek influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts a wheel or krater, which is a common Etruscan motif, while the reverse side features a depiction of a lion, which is a popular Greek symbol. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and trade relationships between the Etruscans and Greeks in the Mediterranean region during this time period.
