| Beschrijving voorzijde | A barley grain depicted in low relief at the center of the flan, oriented horizontally, with three pellets (value marks) positioned to the right of the grain, identifying the denomination as a quadrans. The design is rendered in the archaic, utilitarian style characteristic of Central Italian aes grave coinage, with the type occupying a broad, flat field on a thick cast flan. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A sunburst or wheel motif composed of sixteen radiating rays emanating from a central boss, filling the entire field of the flan. The rays are rendered in low, flat relief typical of cast aes grave production, giving the design a bold, geometric appearance. The motif is consistent with solar or astral symbolism employed in Central Italian coinage of the mid-Republican period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heavy cast bronze of this size places it among the larger aes grave quadrantes circulating in central Italy during the Second Punic War period, when Rome's monetary system was under extraordinary strain and allied communities were producing their own fractional coinage with varying degrees of Roman oversight. The attribution remains disputed — "uncertain city" is not evasion but an honest reflection of the scholarly record, as the dots-right convention appears across multiple minting centers and no secure hoard context has settled the question.
