| Beschrijving voorzijde | A scallop shell (pecten) rendered in high relief occupies the entire obverse field, depicted with characteristic radiating ribs fanning outward from the hinge point at the base toward the denticulate upper margin. The casting is robust, with pronounced parallel ridges conveying the natural fluting of the bivalve shell. The irregular flan, typical of early Central Italian aes grave production, provides an uneven border around the central device. No inscription or legend is present. The composition is entirely aniconic, the shell serving as the primary type denoting the issuing authority or denomination. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents two large globules or pellets in relief against a plain, somewhat rough field, serving as the value mark denoting the sextans denomination (one-sixth of the as). The surface is heavily patinated with a deep green and brown encrustation consistent with prolonged burial, partially obscuring fine detail. The flan edges are irregular and jagged, characteristic of the cast production technique employed for this series of Central Italian aes grave coinage. No legend or additional decorative element accompanies the pellets. The overall artistic execution is utilitarian, consistent with the anonymous municipal issues of this period. |
