| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Roma facing right, wearing a winged Corinthian helmet with a decorative crest; the neck is draped. A six-pointed star appears below the chin, serving as the mark of value, and an amphora is placed in the field behind the head. The portrait is rendered in the characteristic late Roman Republican style, with bold, slightly crude features consistent with a contemporary plated imitation rather than an official mint product. |
