| Obverse description | A four-spoked wheel depicted in relief at the center of the field, with four arms radiating symmetrically from a central hub to the rim. The design is bold and schematic, characteristic of Etruscan aes grave coinage, cast in heavy bronze. The flan is irregular and flat, with no inscription or legend present. |

| Reverse description | A four-spoked wheel similar to the obverse type, with one pellet (dot) placed between each pair of adjacent spokes, totaling four pellets in the interspaces. These pellets serve as value marks indicating the Triens denomination, equivalent to four unciae or one-third of the As. The design is rendered in the same bold, archaic style as the obverse, with no legend or additional device. |
