| Reverse description | A crab depicted in full dorsal view, with carapace and outstretched claws rendered in careful detail, occupying the central field. The ethnic legend ΒΡΕΤ appears between the claws, with ΤΙΩΝ inscribed below, together reading ΒΡΕΤΤΙΩΝ, the genitive plural of the Brettii. Depending on the emission, a symbol — either a cornucopiae or a plectrum (hammer) — appears in the field; some specimens are struck without any accompanying symbol. The overall composition is characteristic of the autonomous bronze issues of the Bruttian League during the Second Punic War period. |
