| Reverse description | Scallop shell depicted facing, with prominent radial ribs fanning outward from a flat, rectangular hinge at the base, rendered in bold relief and occupying the majority of the field. The shell valves are clearly articulated, conveying a naturalistic yet stylized rendering characteristic of Tarentine bronze coinage of this period. No inscription or legend accompanies the design. The field is plain, and the coin exhibits a green patina throughout. |
