| Beschrijving voorzijde | Archaic spoked wheel depicted in the field, rendered in a schematic, primitive style characteristic of early Etruscan cast and struck bronze coinage. The wheel motif, a common symbol associated with value denomination and solar symbolism in pre-Roman Italic traditions, is boldly struck though unevenly distributed across the irregular flan. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A single pellet (dot) centrally placed in the field, serving as the value mark denoting one uncia, equivalent to one-twelfth of an as. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned, with the flan exhibiting the characteristic irregular edges and surface patination typical of Etruscan bronze coinage of this period. No legend or additional devices are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The wheel-and-value marked bronzes attributed to uncertain Etruscan mints occupy a genuinely contested corner of pre-Roman Italian numismatics — scholars have debated their precise issuing authority for over a century, with attributions shifting between Etruscan city-states and Umbrian producers depending on find-spot evidence and die-link studies. What is agreed upon is their placement within the broader cast aes grave tradition, produced at a moment when Rome's expanding monetary influence was beginning to squeeze out regional coinage systems across central Italy.
