| Obverse description | Head of Tinia (the Etruscan equivalent of Zeus/Jupiter) facing left, rendered in archaic Etruscan style with schematic facial features. The hair is depicted in a simple, stylized manner falling behind the neck. The portrait occupies the majority of the flan, which is irregular and characteristic of the small hammered silver fractions produced at Populonia. The relief is moderately high, with typical die-cutting quality of Etruscan mint practice. |

| Reverse description | Plain, nearly flat reverse bearing only a faint incuse impression resulting from the striking process, with no deliberate design elements. The surface is rough and uneven, consistent with the hammered technique employed at Populonia for small-denomination silver fractions. A faint mark, possibly a numeral or pellet, may be present in the field, serving as a value indicator. |
