| Reverse description | An eagle displayed in flight or alighting, shown in left profile with wings prominently spread and tail feathers fanning outward, rendered in a bold, stylized manner consistent with Thessalian civic bronze issues of the late Classical to early Hellenistic period. The eagle, a symbol associated with Zeus, occupies the majority of the reverse field. The ethnic inscription MHTP appears in the lower field below the eagle, identifying the issuing city of Metropolis. The flan edges are irregular, typical of hand-struck bronze coinage of this denomination and era. |
