| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, convex bronze surface of irregular outline, entirely devoid of design elements, inscriptions, or value marks. The reverse presents a smooth but heavily encrusted field with deep green and black patination consistent with ancient bronze corrosion. The lenticular profile of the flan is clearly evident, reflecting the primitive casting technique employed for this series of Central Italian fractional bronze coinage. No legend, symbol, or decorative motif is present. The surface texture is coarse and uneven, as is typical of cast aes grave fractions attributed to uncertain Central Italian mints of the third to second century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Sickle series" bronzes are among the more poorly understood issues of central Italian coinage from this period — the issuing authority remains unattributed despite decades of scholarly debate, with candidates ranging from Umbrian communities to inland Latin settlements. The sickle symbol itself has been read as agricultural, as a cult reference, and as a civic badge, none convincingly settled.
ICC#267 places this piece within a typological grouping rather than a confirmed mint sequence.
