| Obverse description | A six-spoked wheel depicted in relief at the center of the flan, with a single pellet (value mark) placed within each of the spaces between the spokes. The wheel motif, a characteristic Etruscan type symbol, is rendered in a bold, archaic style consistent with Central Italian bronze coinage of the 3rd century BC. The design is contained within a plain raised border, and the surrounding field is flat and unadorned. |

| Reverse description | A double-headed axe (bipennis) depicted in relief at the center of the flan, oriented vertically. A single pellet (value mark indicating one uncia) appears to the left of the axehead, and the control letter 'C' is positioned to the right. The bipennis, a tool and symbol of authority in Etruscan culture, is rendered in a plain, functional style typical of Etruscan struck bronze issues of the late 3rd century BC. |
