| Obverse description | Facing Gorgoneion (Medusa head) depicted in archaic style, rendered frontally within a plain circular border. The visage displays characteristic apotropaic features: large staring eyes, a broad flat nose, and a wide open mouth with protruding tongue. The head is framed by coiling serpentine locks radiating symmetrically around the face, rendered in low relief with fine engraved detail. The design fills the entire flan, consistent with the compact module of this early Populonian silver denomination. |
