| Reverse description | A prominent upright ear of barley occupies the center of the field, its grain head rendered in meticulous detail with individual kernels visible along the stalk, a hallmark emblem of the fertile Metapontine plain. To the left, an owl is depicted alighting upon a barley leaf, wings partially spread, facing left, rendered with careful attention to feather detail. The ethnic legend META appears vertically along the right field in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Metapontion. |
