| Obverse description | A forepart or crouching winged feline creature — likely a griffin or lion — rendered in archaic Etruscan style, facing left in high relief. The beast displays prominent folded wings with detailed feathering, a leonine body with muscular haunches, and a raised foreleg. The head is turned to face the viewer with open jaws. The coin's circular border is formed by a beaded or dotted rim, characteristic of early Etruscan coinage from Populonia. The overall composition is bold and naturalistic within the conventions of the archaic Beast series. |
