| Obverse description | Within a raised circular border, a wheel motif rendered as a four-spoked cross with pronounced globular terminals at the end of each spoke, characteristic of Etruscan aes grave coinage. The design is boldly cast in high relief against a flat, unadorned field. The composition is strictly geometric, reflecting the archaic artistic conventions of central Italian bronze coinage of the third century BC. No legend or inscription is present. |
