| Obverse description | Facing head of an augur rendered in archaic Etruscan style, depicted full-face within a plain incuse circle. The figure wears a distinctive conical apex or ritual headdress characteristic of priestly office, with detailed hair framing the broad, stylized face. The bold, somewhat schematic modelling of the facial features is typical of central Italian aes grave coinage of the early third century BC. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Reverse description | Sacrificial implements depicted in the field: a makaira (curved ritual knife) and a secespita (sacrificial axe), both rendered in low relief and each accompanied by a central pellet. The value mark I (denoting 1 As) appears to the left of the devices, and a crescent symbol is positioned to the right. The composition is arranged in a bold, schematic manner consistent with Etruscan aes grave iconographic conventions. |
