| Reverse description | An anchor depicted upright at center, with a rounded stock at the top and a bifurcated, fluke-like lower section rendered in a stylized, almost foliate form, enclosed within a double raised border circle. Two pellets flank the shank of the anchor at mid-field, serving as value marks indicating the sextans denomination (one-sixth of the as). A third pellet appears below the anchor near the lower border. The composition is bold and schematic, consistent with Etruscan die-cutting conventions of the Second Punic War period. The letter C appears in the field, likely serving as a mint or magistrate mark. |
