| Obverse description | Facing head of Silenus rendered in fine detail, with deeply modelled features including a broad, fleshy nose, prominent brow, and characteristic beard. The face is depicted frontally and centrally positioned within the flan, conveying the archaic artistic style typical of Populonian coinage. The sculpting is bold and high-relief, with carefully articulated facial musculature and hair. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |
