Interesting fact
The 1 Sextans coin from Populonia (Etruria) features a unique sunburst design on its reverse side, which is unlike any other coin design from the same time period. This distinctive feature has led some numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been used for a specific purpose or ceremony, such as a solar ritual or festival.
