| Obverse description | Head of Mercury facing left, wearing the winged petasos helmet characteristic of the deity, rendered in a bold provincial style with strong facial features. The bust is shown in profile with clearly defined eye, nose, and lips. An inscription appears in the field before the face, reading the ethnic of the issuing community in Oscan characters. The overall style reflects the Italic coinage tradition of the early third century BC, blending Greek iconographic conventions with local craftsmanship. |
