| Obverse description | Draped female head facing right, the hair arranged in an elaborate tied-up coiffure with locks falling to the nape of the neck, rendered in fine archaic Etruscan style. The facial features are delicately modeled with a naturalistic profile. The numeral mark of value appears in the left field behind the head, denoting the denomination of 2½ Asses. The relief is crisp against a smooth, slightly irregular flan typical of early Etruscan hammered coinage. |
