Obv.: Head of Minerva facing, wearing crested helmet.

Rev.: Bull moving right.
ROMA.

"The curious cast pieces with ob. head of Minerva facing and rev. bull walking r., above or caduceus and ROMA, must for the present remain unsolved puzzles. Neither their date, mintage, nor denomination has been determined and their dissimilarity to any other known specimens of aes graue suggests the possibility that they were not intended for currency (possibly being commemorative pieces).” (S, p. xxiii)
