| Reverse description | A tall, finely detailed ear of barley occupying the central field, with a broad leaf curving to the left. Above the leaf, a pair of tongs is depicted as a secondary symbol, serving as a magistrate's or mint-control mark. The ethnic legend ΜΕΤΑ appears to the right of the grain stalk, with AΘA positioned to the left, identifying both the issuing city and the responsible magistrate or mint official. The composition exemplifies the canonical Metapontine reverse type, which the city employed consistently across its silver coinage. |
