| Obverse description | Facing head of a bull in three-quarter view turned to the right, rendered in bold relief with prominent horns and carefully detailed musculature. The head is enclosed within a linear border, with the Etruscan legend disposed around the field in archaic Greek-derived characters. Individual letters of the ethnic legend ΘEILE (Thezle, the Etruscan name of Vulci) are placed in the upper field and lower exergual area, flanking the central device. The engraving reflects the strong Etrusco-Greek artistic tradition characteristic of fourth-century central Italian coinage. |
