| Obverse description | Facing Gorgoneion (Metus) depicted full face, rendered in archaic style with wide staring eyes, prominent bared teeth, and serpentine hair curling around the visage. The face fills the flan with bold, expressive relief characteristic of Populonian coinage. The value mark XX appears in the lower field, flanked by pellets, denoting the denomination of 20 Asses. The border is formed by a beaded or dotted circle enclosing the entire design. |
