| Obverse description | A hare in full stride leaping to the right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic detail; the animal's elongated body, extended forelimbs, and powerful haunches are clearly articulated. The figure occupies the central field of the flan, set within a shallow incuse depression characteristic of early Etruscan coinage from Populonia. The style is archaic, emphasizing fluid motion and compact form typical of the so-called Beast series. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | Uniface; the reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, slightly convex and rough silver surface with no design, inscription, or incuse punch. This uniface technique is characteristic of the earliest issues of Populonia, reflecting archaic Etruscan minting practice prior to the adoption of two-sided coin types. |
