| Obverse description | Archaic four-spoked wheel depicted in low relief, with the hub at center and spokes radiating outward to the rim; the design is rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of early Etruscan bronze coinage. The wheel fills the central field of the roughly circular flan. |
