| Reverse description | A single barley ear depicted in high relief at center, with a prominent grain head and clearly articulated awns fanning outward at the top — a device emblematic of Metapontion and its agricultural prosperity. A curved leaf extends to the right of the stalk, its tip curling downward. The ethnic legend META is inscribed in Greek characters to the left of the stalk, reading downward. The composition is bold and well-centered, reflecting the strong civic identity of the mint. |
