Interesting fact
The 1 Sextans coin from Volaterrae (Etruria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a cluster of three grapevines, which is a rare motif in ancient Etruscan coinage. This design may have been used to symbolize the region's rich agricultural heritage and its reputation for producing high-quality wine.
