| Obverse description | Cast bronze aes grave disc bearing a large spoked wheel rendered in relief at center, with four spokes radiating outward from a central hub to the rim. Four pellets, serving as value marks denoting the triens (one-third of an as), are positioned in the quadrants between the spokes. The flan is irregular and the surface retains typical coarse casting texture characteristic of Etruscan aes grave production. |

| Reverse description | Cast bronze reverse featuring a prominent anchor depicted in relief at center, with a crossbar and two flukes curving downward framing the shank. Two large globules or pellets flank the upper portion of the anchor at either side of the crossbar, with an additional pellet below, together constituting the four-pellet value mark of the triens denomination. The design is enclosed within a raised circular border, and the irregular flan displays the characteristic rough surface of Etruscan cast coinage. |
