Etruria or Umbria, Uncia, 3rd century BC; Æ (17 g; 20 x 27 mm)
Mint: possibly Volsinii. Club; Rv. central pellet. Vecchi 200; HN Italy 55; Haeberlin p. 239, 1-55, pl. 81, 42-43. This series of oval-shaped coins has traditionally been assigned to Umbria, but may belong to Etruscan Volsinii, close to the centre of attested finds if outliers are ignored; the attribution remains tentative, cf. Crawford 2002 ‘The oval series of aes grave’, in CH 9 (2002), pp. 269-270. Untouched dark patina. Good very fine.
