| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Sethluns (the Etruscan deity equated with the Roman Vulcan), wearing a pileus; the ethnic legend VATL appears in the field to the left of the bust. The portrait is rendered in a bold, archaic Etruscan style characteristic of the Vetulonian coinage of the early Second Punic War period. |

| Reverse description | A trident displayed vertically in the central field, flanked on either side by a dolphin swimming inward toward the shaft. The composition is symmetrically arranged and reflects the maritime iconographic repertoire common to Etruscan coinage of the period, rendered in a crisp though slightly irregular hammered style. |
