| Obverse description | Janiform double-faced head of Culsan, the Etruscan deity of transitions, depicted wearing a petasos, rendered in archaic Etruscan style with both faces presented frontally in opposition. The broad, stylized facial features are characteristic of the Volaterran bronze coinage of the late 3rd century BC, with the two visages joined at the crown beneath the broad-brimmed hat. The figure occupies the central field with minimal surrounding space. |

| Reverse description | A knotted club depicted vertically in the central field, serving as the principal type of this series, with a single pellet (value mark denoting one uncia) positioned to the left of the club. The club is surrounded by a circular Etruscan inscription rendered in Greek characters, and the overall composition is characteristic of the archaic Volaterran coinage struck during the late 3rd century BC. The design elements are boldly rendered in the Etruscan artistic tradition. |
