| Beschrijving voorzijde | A bird's head in right profile, rendered in archaic relief characteristic of Central Italian aes grave coinage. The design is bold and schematic, occupying the central field of the roughly circular flan. The casting surface is heavily granular, consistent with the hand-cast production technique of this period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized wing depicted in low relief, oriented horizontally across the central field, with four pellets arranged below serving as the value mark for the triens denomination (one-third of an as). The design is characteristic of Central Italian aes grave coinage of the 3rd century BC, executed in the schematic, archaic casting style typical of the series. The flan surface is rough and irregular, consistent with the cast bronze production of the period. |

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — this heavy cast bronze series has been assigned at various points to Hatria, Luceria, and several other Latin colonies established in the third century BC, with no consensus holding for long. The ICC and HN Italy references place it within a broader aes grave tradition, but the issuing authority remains contested in the literature. Haeberlin's foundational 1910 corpus, still the baseline reference for cast bronze, catalogued comparable pieces from surface finds that give no firm archaeological provenance.
