| Obverse description | Bust of a Gaul wearing a torc, depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a bold and somewhat archaic style characteristic of early Italian bronze coinage. The facial features are rendered in low relief with visible surface patination, and the torc — a rigid neck-ring ornament emblematic of Gallic identity — is clearly distinguishable around the neck. The field is plain, with no legend or exergual inscription. |

| Reverse description | A rostrum tridens (ship's ram with three prongs) depicted facing left in low relief, serving as the principal type emblematic of Ariminum's maritime and Roman federate associations. A single pellet (dot) is positioned to the right of the rostrum, denoting the denomination of one uncia within the uncial weight standard. The design is unadorned, with no surrounding legend, and the flan surface shows the characteristic irregular texture of a cast bronze piece. |
