| Obverse description | A plough depicted in left profile, rendered in low relief in the coarse, summary style characteristic of early Central Italian aes grave coinage. The implement is shown with its beam and share clearly delineated against an unadorned, heavily textured field. No legend or inscription is present. The overall fabric is irregular, consistent with the primitive casting technique employed by the Etruscan mint of Tarquinii during this period. |

| Reverse description | A plough depicted in right profile, mirroring the obverse device in a manner typical of early Etruscan aes grave denominations, where complementary orientations of the same type distinguish the two faces. The plough is rendered in bold, schematic relief with the beam, stilt, and share visible, set within a plain, rough field consistent with the cast bronze fabric. No legend, mark of value, or supplementary symbol is present. The casting seams and irregular flan edges reflect the archaic production methods of the Tarquinian mint. |
