X-ray fluorescence and numismatic analyses have been used for the study of a sample of incuse coins at the Museo Campano (Capua, Italy). A group of 31 silver incuse coins (staters and drachmas) of the first coinage (530 BCE to 470/440 BCE) iussed by four cities from southern Italy has been characterized. Numismatic examinations provided indications on the synoptic distribution of the specimens from the different colonies and on the historical period. XRF and multivariate data analyses characterized the coins and provided additional information. Results show that the examined coins consist of a silver-copper alloy (with Ag > 95%). Trace elements indicate that the alloy may come from the same mine. Values of the AgKα/Lα intensity ratio and Ag-Cu alloy standards allowed to identify some surface enriched coins. Other characteristics implied evidence that three coins of Metapontum and Croton could be overstruck.

X射线荧光和钱币分析已用于研究Campeo博物馆（意大利卡普阿）的金币样本。一组由意大利南部的四个城市制作的第一批硬币（公元前530年至公元前470/440年）的31个银沉香硬币（公历和德拉克马）已被定性。钱币检查表明了不同殖民地的标本的概要分布和历史时期。XRF和多元数据分析对硬币进行了表征，并提供了其他信息。结果表明，所检查的硬币由银铜合金（Ag> 95％）组成。微量元素表明该合金可能来自同一矿山。AgKα/Lα强度比值和Ag-Cu合金标准值可以识别一些表面富集的硬币。
