| Aversbeschreibung | Anepigraphic cast bronze piece in the form of a stylized lambskin or hide, with two shallow rounded bosses visible in the central field, representing a primitive pre-monetary form known as Aes Formatum. The curved, crescent-like body terminates in pointed projections at both lateral extremities, imitating the stretched and dried pelt of a small animal. The surfaces bear a natural patina consistent with ancient burial, with no inscriptions, legends, or representational imagery of a numismatic character. |

The convex profile of the piece is apparent on this face, consistent with the casting technique employed for Aes Formatum objects of the pre-monetary Roman and central Italian tradition. Surface shows ancient green and brown patination throughout. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Before Rome developed struck coinage, bronze was exchanged by weight in irregular cast lumps — a practice inherited from central Italian trading customs. These pieces, known collectively as aes rude and its later, more regularized forms, predate the aes grave series and circulated alongside it well into the third century. The pointed or elongated morphology of certain examples is thought to reflect deliberate shaping conventions tied to specific regional markets, though the evidence remains contested among specialists.
The "lambskin" designation in trade nomenclature refers to surface texture, not provenance.
