| 背面描述 | A single barley ear, the civic symbol of Metapontion, depicted in high relief with a full head of grain and detailed husk markings on the right side of the flan. To the left of the stalk, a small figure or symbol — possibly a grasshopper or caduceus — is visible in the field. The barley ear motif is the hallmark reverse type of Metapontine coinage and reflects the agricultural prosperity of the region. No legend is present. |

Metapontion's bronze coinage from this period served local exchange in a city whose agricultural wealth — particularly its grain surplus — was substantial enough to sustain one of the more prolific minting programs in Magna Graecia. The city had aligned with Carthage during the Second Punic War, a decision that led to its near-total abandonment after Hannibal's eventual defeat; most surviving bronzes from Metapontion were lost to that depopulation rather than worn into illegibility.
The unlisted HN Italy reference suggests this piece either falls into a recognized gap in Rutter's catalog or represents a variety not yet formally classified.
