Obverse description	A Phrygian helmet depicted in right profile, rendered in low relief with incised decorative detailing on the bowl and cheekpiece. Three pellets, serving as value marks denoting the quadrans denomination, are arranged around the helmet in the field. The design is typical of Central Italian aes grave coinage, exhibiting the bold, archaic casting style characteristic of the period.

Reverse description	A cantharus (two-handled drinking cup) depicted in profile view, rendered in low relief with handles extending to either side and a flared foot below. Three pellets, the standard value marks of the quadrans, are disposed around the vessel in the field. The motif is a common reverse type on Central Italian aes grave issues, executed in the robust, somewhat stylised casting style characteristic of third-century BC Italian bronze coinage.
