| Obverse description | An owl presented in three-quarter facing view, turned slightly to the left, rendered in archaic Etruscan style with large prominent eyes and detailed feathering. The bird stands upright with wings folded against its body, displayed within a plain incuse field. To the lower left of the owl, the numeral V denoting the denomination of five asses appears in relief. The design is contained within a shallow raised border, with the irregular flan characteristic of hammered coinage of the period. |
