| Obverse description | Janiform bearded and clean-shaven double head of Culsan, the Etruscan deity, depicted facing left and right, each effigy wearing a broad-brimmed petasos helmet. The twin busts are rendered in archaic Etruscan style with well-defined facial features, set within a plain circular field characteristic of early Etruscan bronze coinage. No legend or inscription appears on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | A knotted club depicted vertically in the center of the field, serving as the series symbol and principal type. The Etruscan numeral mark indicating the value of one As (I) appears to the left of the club. The legend, reading in Etruscan script, surrounds the club and references the issuing city of Volaterrae, rendered as FELA on one side and ΘDI I on the other, combining Etruscan and Greek letterforms consistent with Etruscan epigraphic conventions of the period. |
