| Obverse description | Bare head of Nethuns (Etruscan god of water, equivalent to Neptune) facing right, wearing a ketos (sea-monster) headdress rendered in archaic Etruscan style. Two pellets, serving as the value mark for the sextans denomination, are positioned in the field behind the head. No legend is present, consistent with the series designation. |

| Reverse description | A trident, depicted upright in the center of the field, flanked symmetrically on either side by a dolphin rendered in profile. A single pellet appears in the field to the left and to the right of the trident, forming the two-dot value mark characteristic of the sextans denomination. No legend is present. The design is executed in the bold, somewhat archaic style typical of Etruscan bronze coinage of this period. |
