| Beschrijving voorzijde | A large bunch of grapes occupying the central field, depicted in high relief with individual berries rendered as raised globules arranged in a tapering cluster. The bunch is presented frontally with a short stem at the top. The design is bold and stylized, characteristic of Thracian Odrysian bronze coinage of the late fifth to early fourth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Metokos ruled the Odrysian kingdom during a period of fragmentation following the death of Seuthes I, when the unified Thracian state built under Sitalkes began fracturing along dynastic lines. His coinage is rare precisely because his reign was short and his territorial control contested — the Odrysian kingdom at this point was less a centralized state than a shifting coalition of tribal loyalties held together by tribute and marriage.
The Peykov corpus remains the essential reference for Odrysian bronzes, and the B0250 classification places this firmly among the less frequently encountered Metokos emissions.
