| Beschrijving voorzijde | A four-spoked wheel device occupies the central field, with each spoke terminating at a plain raised border forming a circular pelleted or rope-like rim. The spokes are rendered in bold, slightly irregular relief consistent with the hammered Etruscan aes grave tradition. The overall composition is simple and geometric, conveying the primitive yet purposeful artistry characteristic of early Etruscan bronze coinage. No inscription or legend is present. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A four-spoked wheel device, closely mirroring the obverse design, is prominently displayed in the central field, with each spoke radiating outward to a raised circular border. The relief is slightly more pronounced on this side, with the spokes appearing bold and well-defined despite the irregular flan typical of hammered aes grave issues. A plain raised rim encircles the entire design. No legend or inscription is present, consistent with the anepigraphy of Etruscan uncia coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The wheel symbol on cast bronze from this period is generally associated with Etruscan production, though the precise mint responsible for this series remains unattributed — a situation unlikely to change given the near-total absence of archaeological findspot documentation for most surviving specimens. What is clear is that the uncia denomination places this at the twelfth part of the as, the lowest practical division in the Etruscan cast bronze system at a moment when Rome's own aes grave was still the dominant monetary framework in central Italy.
