| Obverse description | Draped bust of Mercury facing right, wearing the winged petasus; a caduceus is visible before the bust. Two pellets appear above the head in the field, serving as the mark of value (sextans). The design is framed by a border of dots. The style is characteristic of mid-Republican Roman bronze coinage, with bold if somewhat schematic rendering of the deity's attributes. |
