| Obverse description | Draped bust of a female deity facing right, identified as Persipnai (the Etruscan equivalent of Persephone), her hair elaborately arranged and bound with a wreath of laurel or myrtle leaves. The facial features are rendered with refined Etruscan artistry, displaying a delicate profile with almond-shaped eye, straight nose, and slightly parted lips. A value mark, the numeral X denoting ten asses, appears in the field, likely below or behind the bust. The flan is irregular in shape, characteristic of hand-struck coinage of the period. |
