| Reverse description | A large, finely detailed barley ear occupies the centre of the field, its full head rendered with careful attention to the individual grains and awns, displayed in high relief characteristic of Metapontine coinage. A secondary barley leaf or shoot extends to the right of the main stalk. The ethnic inscription METAΠ runs upward along the left field. A single laurel leaf appears to the right. The design reflects the city's agricultural prosperity and its use of the grain ear as a long-standing civic emblem. |
