Reverse description Sacrificial implements of the augural rite displayed in the field: a makaira (curved sacrificial knife) and a secespita (ritual axe), rendered in low relief. Three pellets indicating the quadrans value are placed at the centre of the design, with a crescent symbol to the right serving as a mint or series mark. The arrangement is bold and uncluttered, consistent with the schematic iconographic conventions of Etruscan aes grave coinage.
