Comment
Less than ten examples are known.While the design is similar to didrachms from Vulci and cast coinage from Inland Etruria, they are on different weight standards, and so are probably unconnected.
There has been much controversy on dating Populonian coins, and as such, the date ranges my vary per source.
The Archaic wheel series was struck using Populonia's third silver standard, with all being set at unrelated weights to the proceeding two standard.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an archaic wheel design on its reverse side, which was a common motif in ancient Etruscan art and symbolized the cycle of life and death.
