| Obverse description | A cockle shell depicted in high relief, viewed from above, with finely rendered radiating ribs fanning outward from a central hinge at the base. The naturalistic rendering of the bivalve shell is centered within a plain circular field, with no legend or inscription. The crisp incuse detail characteristic of Tarentine small silver coinage is evident in the carefully articulated ribbing and the slightly irregular flan. |
