| Obverse description | Facing head depicted in low relief on a heavily patinated, irregularly cast bronze flan, typical of the central Italic aes grave tradition. The portrait is rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of Etruscan bronze casting of the mid-third century BC. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, with no legend present on this side. The casting surface exhibits the coarse granular texture inherent to sand-cast aes grave coinage. The overall design conveys the primitive yet monumental quality associated with the earliest heavy bronze coinage of Etruria. |
