| Obverse description | Cockle shell (pecten) depicted in high relief at center, its radiating ribs fanning upward from a triangular hinge at the base, rendered with careful naturalistic detail. The shell fills the plain, unlettered field, with no surrounding legend or exergual inscription. The style is characteristic of the fine engraving tradition of Tarentine minor coinage of the late Classical period. |
