| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Apollo facing left, rendered in archaic Italic style with stylized hair locks visible above the brow. The portrait is boldly executed in high relief consistent with the heavy cast aes grave tradition of Central Italy. The surface shows the characteristic rough texture of the cast bronze flan, with no legend or inscription in the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Forepart or head of a horse facing left, depicted in a schematic Italic style typical of Central Italian aes grave coinage of the third to second century BC. The mane is rendered with summary linear strokes, and the design occupies the central field of the broadly cast, irregular flan. No legend or mark of value is present on this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heavy cast bronze of this weight places it firmly in the aes grave tradition, produced before Rome's monetary consolidation made regional issues redundant. The specific attribution to an uncertain Central Italian city reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — the iconographic and metrological evidence has never cleanly resolved to a single mint, and the references cited disagree on finer points of origin. Sydenham and Thurlow-Vecchi assign different weights to comparable pieces within this type, suggesting either multiple casting sites or significant variation within a single series.
