| Obverse description | Head of a Gaul facing right, depicted wearing a torc around the neck, rendered in low relief in the archaic Italic style typical of early Roman-period bronze coinage. The facial features are boldly modeled with a prominent nose and stylized hair, characteristic of the local Gallic iconographic tradition. The field is uneven due to the cast production method, with a rough granular surface consistent with aes grave coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A scallop shell depicted in high relief at center, its radiating ribs rendered in a naturalistic yet stylized manner characteristic of early Italic bronze coinage. The shell is centrally positioned within the flan, with the ribs fanning outward symmetrically from the hinge point. The surrounding field is plain and irregular, consistent with the cast technique employed for aes grave issues of the Ariminum mint. No legend or exergual inscription is present. |
