| Obverse description | Laureate male head in right profile, rendered in low relief within a plain inner circle, set against a broad flat field. The effigy displays archaic Etruscan artistic conventions with simplified facial features. The denomination mark appears in the field behind and below the head, denoting the value of 12½ centesimae. The overall design is characteristic of the late Populonian aes grave incuse series. |

| Reverse description | Incuse fish swimming to the right, depicted in characteristic Populonian style with the design sunk into the flan rather than raised. The fish is rendered in a naturalistic yet stylized manner, with body contour and fin details discernible within the incuse recess. The motif occupies the central field and is contained within a circular border, consistent with the broader Populonian incuse coinage tradition of the late third century BC. |
