| Beschrijving keerzijde | Archaic four-spoked wheel in low relief, mirroring the obverse type in a style consistent with Etruscan aes grave coinage of the mid-third century BC. A single pellet is placed on either side of the wheel within the field, confirming the sextans value of two unciae. The surface displays the characteristic rough texture and irregular casting marks of this series, with the design slightly off-center on the broad, heavy flan. |

Etruscan bronze coinage of this period remains poorly attributed — no mint has been conclusively identified for this series, and scholarly consensus has shifted repeatedly since Haeberlin's early cataloguing work. The wheel motif places this within a group now generally assigned to inland Etruria, though whether a single mint or multiple workshops produced these pieces is still unresolved.
The sextans denomination indicates a duodecimal weight standard, with two pellets marking its fractional value within the as system — one of the clearest points of contact between Etruscan and Central Italian monetary practice before Roman absorption of the region.
