| Beschrijving keerzijde | Three crescents arranged symmetrically in a triskelion-like composition, their horns pointing outward and converging at the center of the flan. The motif is rendered in high relief with smooth, curved forms, typical of the cast bronze coinage of Venusia in the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. The field is plain and uninscribed, and the overall design conveys a strong decorative quality. The three crescents serve as the value mark corresponding to the teruncius denomination, equivalent to three unciae. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Venusia was a Latin colony planted by Rome in 291 BC on the contested border between Samnium and Apulia, its foundation a deliberate strategic anchor following the Third Samnite War. The city's right to strike bronze coinage was a privilege extended to select Latin colonies, and the heavy weights typical of early Venusian issues reflect the pre-reform Italian bronze standard before Rome's monetary reorganization in the mid-third century. At roughly 87 grams, this teruncius sits at the heavier end of what the series produced, suggesting an early date within the bracket — likely closer to 275 than 225.
