| Obverse description | Winged and draped bust of Victory facing right, rendered in fine engraved style typical of late Republican coinage. Below the chin appears the XVI monogram (Ӿ), denoting the denomination mark indicating the coin's value of sixteen asses. The portrait is executed with naturalistic detail, the wing rising prominently behind the head. No encircling legend appears on the obverse, the denomination symbol serving as the sole inscription. |

| Reverse description | Mars, the god of war, striding left in military attire, holding a spear point-downward in his right hand and bearing a trophy over his left shoulder with his left hand. Behind the figure appear corn-ears, and an apex (the conical cap of a flamen priest) is placed before him, referencing the moneyer's priestly connections. The moneyer's name L•VALERI FLACCI is inscribed counterclockwise in the left field, identifying the issuing magistrate Lucius Valerius Flaccus. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, consistent with the artistic conventions of the Roman Republican denarius series. |
