| Obverse description | Owl standing left in profile, rendered in high relief in the archaic Italian cast-bronze tradition. A single pellet appears on each side of the owl, serving as value marks denoting the sextans denomination. The surface exhibits the characteristic rough texture of a cast aes grave piece. |

| Reverse description | Boar's head facing left in profile, depicted in bold relief typical of Central Italian aes grave coinage. A single pellet is positioned above and a single pellet below the boar's head, confirming the sextans denomination value marks. The casting produces a slightly irregular flan with a granular patinated surface consistent with bronze pieces of this period. |
