The wheel design is rendered in a bold, primitive style characteristic of early Etruscan aes grave coinage.

Six pellets are distributed around the outer border between the crescents, likely serving as decorative or denominational markers. The entire design is set within a raised border, consistent with the archaic Etruscan aes grave style. |
