| Obverse description | Facing Gorgoneion (Gorgo head) depicted en face at center, rendered in archaic style characteristic of Populonian bronze coinage; the visage displays prominent eyes, a broad nose, and an open mouth with protruding tongue. Two large, incuse wheels with spoked rims are positioned flanking the central device, one to the left and one to the right, serving as the principal value marks denoting the denomination of 20 decimae. The overall composition is typical of the late Populonian uncial series, struck on a broad, irregular flan with characteristic flat relief. |
