| Obverse description | Facing head of Metus (Gorgoneion or apotropaic facing head), rendered in archaic style with broad, flat features; the visage displays characteristic early Etruscan artistic conventions including prominent eyes and stylized hair or serpentine locks radiating around the face. The head occupies the majority of the flan, set against a plain, unadorned field. No legend or inscription accompanies the design. |
