Obverse description	Central device depicting a facing head of Medusa or Gorgoneion in low relief, rendered in archaic style with broad features and a wide, open mouth. Four dots arranged to the right of the central motif serve as the value mark for the triens, denoting four unciae (one-third of the as). The field surrounding the device is plain and unlettered, consistent with the aes grave coinage tradition of Central Italy. The flan is thick and irregular, characteristic of cast bronze coinage of the third century BC.

Reverse description	Wheel motif occupying the entire field, depicted with eight spokes radiating from a central hub, rendered in the bold, schematic style typical of Central Italian aes grave issues. The wheel is a standard reverse type associated with the triens denomination in the anonymous aes grave series. No legend or additional marks are present in the field. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with the cast production technique employed for this series.
