| Obverse description | A plough depicted in profile facing right, rendered in low relief with boldly cast lines against a plain field. The implement is schematically rendered in the archaic Etruscan style typical of early central Italian cast bronze coinage. No legend or inscription is present. The flan is irregular in outline with a rough, granular surface consistent with the casting technique. |

| Reverse description | A yoke (jugum) depicted facing, rendered schematically in low relief as a curved crossbar with two prominent pellets below, serving as the value mark denoting the sextans (one-sixth of an as). The design is centrally placed within the irregular cast flan, with no surrounding legend. The surface displays a granular texture with areas of green and brown patination characteristic of ancient cast bronze. |
