| Obverse description | Facing lion's head turned to the left, rendered in bold high relief with radiating mane locks fanning outward across the field in an expressive, almost archaic style characteristic of Populonian coinage. The face displays deeply modelled features including prominent eyes, a broad muzzle, and open jaws. The numeral V, denoting the denomination of 5 Asses, appears above the lion's head in the upper field. The flan is irregular in shape, as typical of hammered silver coinage of this series. |
