| Obverse description | Frontal or near-frontal bull's head depicted in low relief, rendered in the archaic Italic cast bronze tradition. The bovine features are schematically modeled, with broad muzzle and short horns discernible despite significant surface wear and patination. The design occupies the central field of the flan, with no surrounding legend or inscription. The style is consistent with Central Italian aes grave production of the 3rd century BC. |

| Reverse description | A vertical, podium-like or altar-like object depicted in low relief at the center of the field, its precise identification remaining uncertain in the numismatic literature. The form appears to represent a stepped or columnar cult object, rendered schematically in the archaic cast bronze style characteristic of Central Italian aes grave coinage. The field is otherwise plain with no legend or subsidiary symbols. Heavy patination and surface corrosion obscure finer details of the type. |
