| Obverse description | Convex face of a cast copper conical bullet-shaped piece, heavily encrusted with dark green and olive patina consistent with prolonged burial. The surface is largely featureless due to extensive corrosion, though faint raised relief may be discernible beneath the patination. The form itself — a truncated cone tapering to a rounded point — is the defining characteristic of this archaic cast denomination, produced by pouring molten copper into a mould. No legend or inscription is present on this face. |
