| Obverse description | Two dolphins depicted in dynamic movement, swimming in opposite directions to form a circular composition within a beaded border. The dolphins are rendered in relief with carefully articulated bodies, their forms curving gracefully around the central field. This motif is characteristic of the early Populonian coinage of the Beast series and reflects the strong Etruscan maritime artistic tradition. |
