| Beschrijving voorzijde | Anepigraphic obverse exhibiting a cast bronze surface entirely devoid of imagery or inscription. The face presents a crescent-shaped, concave profile with pronounced toothed or serrated projections at the lateral terminals, forming the characteristic 'lambskin' or pellis-type form associated with Aes Formatum proto-monetary objects. The field is uneven and bears the natural texturing typical of primitive sand or clay casting, with visible patination and minor surface corrosion consistent with great antiquity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aes formatum — raw cast bronze in shaped forms — preceded the introduction of aes signatum and eventually struck coinage in central Italy. These curved-trough, toothed-peak pieces were not coins in any functional sense but served as weighed bronze currency in a pre-denominational economy where value was reckoned by the libra. The "lambskin" designation refers to the undulating profile of the cast surface, a morphological classification used by modern scholars rather than any ancient term.
