| Reverse description | A trident, rendered in bold relief with three upward-pointing prongs rising from a crossbar and a straight shaft, dominates the central field. The municipal abbreviation TU, identifying the issuing city of Tuder (modern Todi), appears as a legend to the left of the shaft. Two pellets, serving as the value marks for the sextans denomination, are positioned to the right of the trident. The composition is enclosed within a plain raised border, consistent with the cast aes grave tradition of Umbrian municipal coinage. |

| Additional information |
Tuder — modern Todi in Umbria — was among the communities that issued heavy aes grave during the period before Roman monetary standardization swept through central Italy. These earliest Umbrian bronzes were cast, not struck, and Tuder's issues are rare enough that die studies remain incomplete. The weight here, still close to the archaic sextantal standard, places this piece among the earlier emissions of the series before progressive reduction made the coinage increasingly nominal.
