Curator's comments: SNG Lloyd no. 26 notes that the coin is described in Forrer's catalogue of the Weber collection (no. 70) as being rom the Volaterra (1868) find, but that this "can hardly be correct for the hoard contained no silver coins except of the Auriol class". IGCH (1875) suggests the coin came instead from the Cecina 1858 hoard (IGCH 1954).
