The legend ROMA appears behind the head, accompanied by the value mark XVI rendered as a monogram (Ӿ), indicating the tariff of sixteen asses. The entire design is enclosed within a border of dots. The portrait is rendered in the vigorous, confident style characteristic of late Roman Republican coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Marcus Sergius Silus issued this coin partly as a monument to his grandfather, the legendary Sergius who fought in the Second Punic War and lost his right hand to wounds sustained in battle — subsequently wearing an iron prosthetic and reportedly returning to combat. The family's claim to this heritage was politically potent in the late Republic, and the moneyer exploited it fully. The EX•S•C notation indicates the piece was struck by explicit senatorial decree, an unusual distinction suggesting this particular issue required formal authorization beyond the routine moneyer's commission.
