| Obverse description | A scallop shell depicted in plan view, its radiating ribs splaying outward from a triangular hinge at the base, rendered in low relief with bold incised lines. The shell fills the central field of this small hammered flan with no surrounding legend or border. The design is characteristic of the marine iconography favored by Tarentum, a city whose prosperity depended on the sea. |
