| Obverse description | Facing gorgoneion (Medusa head) depicted frontally in archaic style, with wide-open eyes, prominent brow, and a broad nose; the hair is rendered as a series of tight curls or beaded locks arranged symmetrically around the face. The mouth is slightly open in characteristic apotropaic expression. The value mark 'XX' appears in the upper field, denoting the denomination of 20 Asses. The design is boldly struck within an irregular flan typical of hammered Etruscan coinage. |
