| Obverse description | A four-spoked wheel with distinctly curved, sickle-shaped spokes radiating from a raised central hub, occupying the full field of the flan. The spokes curve in a consistent rotational direction, creating a dynamic, pinwheel-like composition. The design is executed in low relief typical of Etruscan cast bronze coinage, with no legend or surrounding border. The irregular flan edges are characteristic of the casting technique employed at uncertain Etruscan mints of the late 3rd century BC. |

| Reverse description | A four-spoked wheel with curved, sickle-shaped spokes emanating from a raised central hub, identical in type to the obverse design and similarly filling the entire field. The relief is slightly flatter than the obverse, a feature not uncommon in double-type cast bronze issues of this series. No legend, exergual mark, or border is present. The surface retains an overall dark bronze patina with areas of encrustation consistent with ancient burial or prolonged circulation. |
