| Reverse description | A large barley ear depicted upright and centrally positioned, the hallmark civic type of Metapontion referencing the city's agricultural prosperity. The grain is rendered with carefully incised awns fanning outward from a detailed central spine. To the left and right of the ear appear the Greek letters META, the ethnic abbreviation of the issuing city. A cornucopia or similar curved element is visible to the lower right of the stalk, completing the reverse composition. |
