| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of Hercules (Hercle) facing right, clad in the Nemean lion's skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown and rendered in low relief with characteristic mane pelt visible behind the neck. The facial features display an archaic Italian style typical of Central Italic aes grave coinage, with a broad, rounded profile and bold modeling suited to the cast bronze medium. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aes grave — cast rather than struck — places this piece within the transitional monetary landscape of pre-Roman central Italy, where multiple autonomous minting authorities were producing heavy bronze currency before Rome's eventual consolidation of the region. At 357 grams, this falls within the expected range for a full libral or sub-libral as, depending on which local standard was in force at the time of casting. The attribution to an uncertain central Italian city reflects a genuine gap in scholarship: the ICC and Haeberlin classifications group several iconographically related pieces whose civic origins remain unresolved despite over a century of study.
Syd#124 cross-references suggest proximity to issues from the Umbrian or Samnite sphere, though no consensus has formed.
