| Obverse description | Facing lion's head rendered in bold relief, turned slightly to the right, with finely detailed mane indicated by incised parallel lines radiating from the face. The eye is prominently rendered and the open jaws reveal carefully engraved teeth. A beaded border encircles the design. The numeral mark of value, the letter L (denoting L = 50 asses in the Etruscan-influenced notation of Populonia), appears below the lion's head in the field. |
