| Obverse description | Facing head of Hercle (Heracles) depicted in high relief at centre, rendered in the archaic Etruscan style with broad, stylised facial features, prominent eyes, and a characteristic flanged or scaled lion-skin headdress framing the face. The portrait is boldly struck with fine engraving detail on the facial musculature. The value mark 'XX' appears in the field, denoting 20 Asses. The flan is irregularly shaped, as typical of this hammered Populonian silver series. |
