| Obverse description | An archaic four-spoked wheel rendered in low relief, occupying the central field and enclosed within a raised circular border. The spokes radiate from a central hub in a schematic, geometric style characteristic of early Etruscan aes grave coinage. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with the cast production technique of the period. No legend or inscription is present. |
