| Descripción del anverso |
Helmeted head of Menrva (the Etruscan equivalent of Athena/Minerva) facing right, rendered in archaic Etruscan style. The goddess wears a crested Corinthian helmet adorned with three pellets above the visor, serving as mark of value denoting the sextans denomination. The facial features are stylized yet expressive, with a pronounced eye and defined jaw, characteristic of the Populonian bronze series. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of hammered cast bronzes of this period. |

| Descripción del reverso |
An owl standing to the right in three-quarter view, rendered in a schematic, archaic style consistent with Etruscan coinage conventions. The bird is depicted with large round eye and spread wings, occupying the central field of the flan. Below or around the owl, the Etruscan retrograde legend PVPLVNA identifies the issuing city of Populonia. The overall design is boldly struck but shows the characteristic irregularity of hand-hammered ancient bronze coinage. |
