| Reverse description | Incuse barley ear rendered in intaglio, mirroring the obverse type in the characteristic early South Italian incuse technique. The grain pairs and awns are deeply recessed into the flan, producing a precise negative impression of the obverse design. The incuse field is surrounded by a serrated or cable border typical of this early coinage series. No inscription or subsidiary device is present on the reverse, the incuse ear filling the available flan. |
