Comment
These coins were originally attributed to Vetulonia, but have been re-attributed to Luca based on where the majority of the coins were found.Interesting fact
The Silver 1 As (Goose) coin from Luca (Etruria) features a unique design on its reverse side, depicting a goose standing on a rocky outcrop. This design was meant to symbolize the city's prosperity and abundance, as geese were considered sacred animals in Etruscan culture and were often associated with fertility and good fortune.
