| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Minerva facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with raised cheek-guards. The portrait is rendered in a bold, somewhat archaic italic style typical of Samnite bronzes. The surface of the field shows characteristic patination consistent with ancient bronze coinage of the region. |
