| Obverse description | Struck in cast bronze with a characteristic irregular flan typical of Italian aes grave coinage of the Second Punic War period. The obverse displays a single pellet in the field, serving as the value mark denoting one uncia, the twelfth part of an as. The surface is heavily patinated with a granular bronze texture consistent with ancient cast production, and the design elements are rendered in low relief. The coin exhibits the crude, functional style associated with the emergency bronze coinage issued by smaller Oscan communities of southern Italy during this period. |
