Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of symbols, with the wheel and anchor representing different aspects of Etruscan culture and daily life. The wheel may symbolize trade and commerce, while the anchor could represent the importance of the sea and maritime activities in Etruscan society. This blend of symbols highlights the rich cultural heritage of the Etruscans and their connection to the Mediterranean world.
