| Obverse description | A four-spoked wheel rendered in low relief, centrally positioned within a plain circular border. The hub is depicted as a raised boss at the center, with four equidistant spokes radiating outward to a continuous rim. The design is bold and schematic, consistent with the archaic, cast aes grave tradition of Etruscan bronze coinage. The field is unadorned, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | A krater (mixing vessel) depicted in low relief at the center of the field, rendered with a broad body, two lateral handles, and a flared foot. Two pellets, serving as value marks denoting the sextans denomination (one-sixth of an as), appear below the vessel. The type is enclosed within a plain circular border consistent with Etruscan cast bronze coinage, and the field is otherwise uninscribed. |
