| Beschrijving keerzijde | A five-pointed pentagram (five-pointed star formed by five intersecting lines) occupying the central field, with a single pellet at the centre where the lines converge, serving as the value mark denoting one uncia. The design is rendered in the bold, schematic style typical of Central Italian cast bronze issues, with the five triangular points of the star extending toward the periphery of the flan. The casting seam and irregular edge are consistent with the aes grave tradition. |

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" is not evasion — it reflects a genuine scholarly impasse that has persisted for over a century. Multiple Samnite and Latin communities struck bronze on the Roman libral standard during the third century BC, and without epigraphic legend or secure hoard provenance, pinning this uncia to a single mint remains impossible. Haeberlin's foundational work on aes grave attempted to resolve many such attributions through weight analysis alone, with limited success for this type.
