| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in low relief with broad, somewhat archaic features typical of late Etruscan bronze coinage. The facial profile displays a prominent nose and defined chin, with the helmet crest sweeping rearward. The field is plain and unlettered, with the flan exhibiting the irregular, slightly convex form characteristic of cast and struck Populonian bronzes. |

| Reverse description | Incuse design featuring a figure — likely a seated or crouching animal — rendered in intaglio within a shallow sunken field, executed in the characteristic incuse technique of Populonian coinage. The numeral V appears within or adjacent to the incuse design, denoting the denomination of 5 Centesimae. The reverse surface shows the typical rough texture and irregular outline of hammered Etruscan bronze issues of this period. |
