| Beschrijving voorzijde | Boar's head in profile facing left, rendered in archaic Italian style with broad, slightly raised relief typical of Central Italian aes grave coinage. The snout and jaw are boldly modeled, and the overall form is naturalistic though somewhat crude in execution, consistent with the hand-finishing characteristic of cast bronze coinage of this period. The field is plain and unlettered. |

The attribution "uncertain city of Central Italy" reflects a genuine scholarly impasse — heavy bronze aes grave coinage of this period was produced by multiple Samnite and Latin communities whose issues overlap in type and weight standard, making definitive civic attribution impossible without hoard provenance. The Second Samnite War and its aftermath disrupted mint activity across the region severely enough that some of these series may represent emergency or military issues rather than civic coinage in any stable sense.
Haeberlin's foundational 1910 typology, still referenced here, remains the baseline for aes grave classification despite over a century of subsequent scholarship.
