| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, her hair arranged in a bun at the nape of the neck. The effigy is rendered in a provincial Etruscan style characteristic of the Vetulonian mint, with broad, somewhat schematic facial features. The field is plain, devoid of inscription or secondary devices. The flan is irregular and shows the typical surface texture of a cast bronze piece. |

| Reverse description | Uniface; the reverse is entirely blank, bearing no design, inscription, or device of any kind. The surface retains the rough, granular texture inherent to the cast bronze flan, consistent with Etruscan aes grave production of the early Second Punic War period. |
