| Obverse description | Head of Metus (or a gorgoneion-influenced facing head) rendered in profile to right within an incuse square, displaying archaic artistic conventions characteristic of early Etruscan bronze coinage. The effigy is set within a shallow, irregular incuse depression occupying the majority of the flan. The design is executed in low relief with bold, stylized features. No border or exergue is present. |

| Reverse description | A fish depicted in profile, rendered in incuse relief centrally placed on the reverse flan, serving as the primary type identifier for this denomination. The fish is shown in a naturalistic but stylized manner consistent with Populonian bronze coinage conventions. The incuse technique results in the design being recessed into the flan surface. No legend or additional design elements accompany the type. The flan is irregular and shows the characteristic rough surfaces associated with cast and hammered Etruscan bronzes. |
