| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Minerva facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a raised crest, rendered in archaic relief typical of Central Italian Aes Grave coinage. The facial features, though worn, retain the characteristic profile associated with this goddess in the early Roman Republican bronze series. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. The flan is irregular and massive, consistent with the cast production technique of the period. |

| Reverse description | A cantharus (two-handled drinking cup) depicted in full front view, centrally placed within the field, flanked and surrounded by four large pellets positioned at the cardinal points to denote the denomination of one triens (four unciae, or one-third of an as). The cantharus is rendered in bold, schematic relief characteristic of Aes Grave iconography. The field is plain, with no inscription or exergual marking. |
