| Obverse description | Archaic four-spoked wheel depicted in a schematic, primitive style, centrally placed within the field, with four pellets positioned between the spokes serving as value marks denoting the triens denomination. The design is rendered in low relief characteristic of Etruscan cast bronze coinage, with no legend or inscription present. The flan is irregular and thick, consistent with the heavy cast aes grave tradition of central Italy. |

| Reverse description | Archaic four-spoked wheel in the same schematic style as the obverse, centrally placed within the field, flanked by four pellets positioned between the spokes as denomination indicators. The relief is low and the execution is bold and geometric, reflecting the archaic Etruscan artistic tradition. No legend or inscription is present on either side, and the flan surface retains a rough, cast texture typical of aes grave issues. |
