Comment
This type measures around 20x31 millimetres.These coins were originally attributed to being from Umbria; however, some sources suggest these are actually from Volsinii, Etruria, since that city is near the centre of the majority of the spot-finds if any outliers are ignored.
Interesting fact
The Umbrian uncertain city that minted this coin, the Sextans, is believed to have been an ancient city located in what is now modern-day Italy, possibly in the region of Umbria or Tuscany. Despite its uncertain origins, the coin still holds significant historical value and offers a glimpse into the monetary systems and trade practices of ancient civilizations.
