| Obverse description | A hippocamp depicted in right profile, rendered with a horse forepart transitioning into a coiled fish tail, occupying the central field. The creature is shown in a dynamic, sinuous posture typical of Etruscan-influenced Italic coinage of this period. One or more dolphins are depicted in the surrounding field, emphasizing the marine theme. The numeral V, denoting the denomination of 5 asses, appears in the field before the hippocamp. The overall style is archaic and robust, characteristic of early central Italian silver coinage. |
