"McCabe Group E (this is a plate coin in Essay's Russo p.145). Mint: Etruria. Second Punic war. Related to RRC 106 staff and club. Obverses are in high relief with wide staring eyes and thick hairlines in Etruscan style. Reverses are concave, on thick dumpy flans, and often flat struck at edges. Prows have line-bounded prowstems, square deck structures, and a prominent line to the left of the deck structure. The keel lines are widely spaced at left and converge into prominent rostrum tridens. All denominations As through Uncia are known. The weight standard is about 35 grams." - Andrew McCabe.
