| Obverse description | A sleeping dog rendered in high relief, depicted in right profile with its body curled and head resting downward, occupying the central field within a raised border. The municipal legend TUTERE arcs above the animal in archaic Latin characters, identifying the issuing community of Tuder (modern Todi, Umbria). The casting is bold and schematic, characteristic of the heavy aes grave series of central Italy from the early third century BC. |

| Reverse description | A lyre depicted in bold relief at center, its resonating body, arms, and multiple strings clearly articulated in the schematic style typical of Umbrian aes grave coinage. The denomination mark C (representing the semis, one-half of an as) appears to the right of the instrument in the field. The composition is austere and functional, consistent with the civic cast bronze coinage of the Umbrian region during the late fourth to early third century BC. |
