| 正面描述 | Plain convex field bearing a single pellet (dot) at center, serving as the value mark denoting one uncia, the twelfth part of the as. The surface is slightly domed in the characteristic fashion of central Italian cast bronze coinage of the third to second century BC, with no additional design elements or inscriptions. |

| 背面描述 | A left-turning (sinistroverse) swastika occupying the central field, its four arms of equal length each bent at a right angle in the counterclockwise direction. This ancient apotropaic symbol, rendered in bold relief consistent with the cast bronze technique, fills the flan without additional border or inscription, a type associated with uncertain central Italian mints of the third to second century BC. |

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — these unciae have been assigned at various points to Cales, Teanum, and several other Campanian and Samnite mints, with no consensus holding for long. The left-turning variety is distinguished from the more common right-turning type at the die level, and Haeberlin's work remains the foundational reference despite being over a century old.
