| Obverse description | An archaic spoked wheel depicted in high relief at centre, its four spokes supported by crossbars forming a symmetrical cruciform pattern within the hub, enclosed within a plain raised border. The design is rendered in a bold, schematic archaic style characteristic of early Etruscan coinage. The field is plain with no legend or inscription. The overall composition is strongly geometric, reflecting the transitional period of early Italian monetary art. |

| Reverse description | Completely blank and uniface, exhibiting only the irregular hammered surface of the planchet with no design, legend, or decorative element of any kind. The surface retains the characteristic flat, unworked texture produced by the striking process on an uninscribed anvil die, consistent with the earliest series of Populonian coinage. |
