| Opis awersu |
The chimera, a composite mythological creature rendered in the Archaic Etruscan style, depicted in profile advancing to the right, with the body of a lion, a serpentine tail, and a goat's head rising from the back. The beast strides dynamically across a ground line composed of multiple parallel horizontal lines in the lower field, lending a sense of register to the composition. A dotted border frames the design around the periphery of the flan. The engraving is bold and vigorous, characteristic of early Populonian die-cutting, with musculature suggested through confident incised lines. No legend or inscription appears on this face. |

| Opis rewersu |
Plain, unworked reverse presenting a broad, flat incuse surface with no deliberate design, typical of early Etruscan hammered coinage produced using a single obverse die struck against a plain punch. The surface shows the characteristic granular texture and irregular contours resulting from the hammering technique. No legend, symbol, or device is present. |
