Comment
While this coin is not published in Vecchi-V, based on the unique reverse design, it is probably from the third series.Interesting fact
The 1 Uncia coin from Vetulonia (Etruria) was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic exchange between the Etruscans and the Romans. In fact, the Etruscans were known to have influenced Roman art, architecture, and even language, and this coin may have been used in trade agreements or as payment for goods and services between the two civilizations.
