| Beschrijving voorzijde | Archaic wheel motif depicted within a circular border, with four spokes radiating from a central hub; the design is rendered in a primitive, stylized manner characteristic of early Etruscan bronze coinage. The wheel is enclosed within a raised rim, and the overall execution reflects the archaic artistic conventions of central Italian aes grave production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The wheel-type unciae attributed to uncertain Etruscan mints occupy one of the murkier corners of central Italian bronze coinage. These issues predate Rome's consolidation of monetary authority over Etruria and reflect a period when individual Etruscan cities — or loose confederacies of them — were still producing independent bronze on their own weight standards. Exactly which center struck them remains unresolved; Haeberlin's attributions have been repeatedly revised without consensus.
The aes grave tradition in this region was already in decline by the time these pieces were struck, squeezed out by the spread of Roman coinage during the First Punic War.
