| Reverse description | A veiled female figure stands facing, head turned to the left, attired in a long chiton. She extends a patera in her right hand over a small lighted altar at her feet, and holds a long sceptre in her left hand. The composition evokes a scene of religious offering or cult worship, consistent with the civic and religious iconography typical of Ionian provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Metropolis. |
