| Obverse description | Facing owl depicted in three-quarter view, turned to the right, rendered in high relief within an incuse circle. The bird's large, prominent round eyes are clearly articulated, and the feathering of the wings and body is carefully detailed in the archaic Etruscan tradition. The numeral 'V', denoting the value of 5 Asses, appears in the left field before the owl. The composition is bold and centrally placed, consistent with the characteristic iconography of Populonian silver coinage. |
