| Beschrijving keerzijde | A theatrical mask of Vulcan, depicted frontally in the upper field, above a bull advancing to the right with a human head — a characteristic Oscan symbol combining indigenous Italic iconography with Greek mythological influence. The composition is enclosed within a dotted border, and the flan shows the irregular casting typical of early Samnite bronzes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Malventum — the city's original Oscan name, meaning something close to "bad wind" — was renamed Beneventum by the Romans following their decisive victory there in 275 BC, when Pyrrhus of Epirus was finally driven from Italy. This coin predates that renaming, placing it in circulation during one of the most turbulent periods in southern Italian history, when the city changed hands repeatedly between Samnite and Roman control.
The Campana reference situates this among a small, poorly documented series.
