背面描述	Two pendant bunches of grapes suspended from a central vine branch, depicted in high relief with individual berries rendered in careful detail. The clusters hang symmetrically on either side of the branch, flanked by vine leaves, forming a bold and distinctive emblem emblematic of Meliboia's viticulture. The ethnic legend ΜΕΛΙΒΟΕΩΝ is inscribed in the field, partially visible around the grape clusters, in the Greek alphabet characteristic of Thessalian coinage of the mid-fourth century BC.

附加信息	Meliboia was a small coastal settlement in Magnesia, the narrow strip of eastern Thessaly running down the Pelion peninsula toward the Aegean. It struck coins only briefly, and this dichalkon belongs to a civic coinage so limited in output that the type appears across barely a handful of collections worldwide. The dating places production squarely within the period of Macedonian encroachment into Thessaly under Philip II, whose reorganization of the region by 344 BC effectively ended the independent monetary activity of minor Thessalian communities like Meliboia.
