| Obverse description | A large six-spoked wheel with a central boss occupies the entire field, its spokes radiating outward to a plain rim. Etruscan letters, identified as N, P, and V, are placed individually between the spokes in the interspaces, serving as a mint or magistrate abbreviation. The design is boldly rendered in the archaic cast tradition, with thick, rounded spoke profiles and a prominent hub. The irregular flan surface reflects the hand-cast aes grave production technique characteristic of Etruscan coinage of this period. |
