| Obverse description | Facing head of an augur rendered in archaic Etruscan style, the figure wearing the characteristic pointed apex hat associated with priestly office, depicted within a raised border. The portrait is bold and schematic, occupying the majority of the flan, with summary facial features rendered in low relief typical of central Italian aes grave coinage of this period. |
