| Aversbeschreibung | Facing bearded male head, rendered in the archaic-to-classical transitional style characteristic of Thessalian coinage. The visage is depicted full-face with pronounced facial features, including a broad nose, wide-set eyes, and a thick beard rendered with fine striations. The hair is shown in loose, wavy locks framing the face on either side. The overall style reflects the bold die-cutting tradition of northern Greek mints of the early fourth century BC. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Armored male figure, likely Ares or a heroic warrior, seated or striding to the right in three-quarter view, wearing a crested helmet and short military tunic. The figure holds a spear in one hand and rests the other on a shield or similar attribute. The composition fills the irregular flan and exhibits the lively, dynamic style typical of Thessalian obol coinage of this period. A partial ethnic legend in Greek characters appears in the field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Metropolis was a minor Thessalian polis whose coinage output was limited enough that its issues remain poorly documented compared to neighbors like Larissa or Pharsalos. The BCD Thessaly II reference places this obol within a tight typological sequence, and surviving examples are scarce — the city's political obscurity likely meant low-volume minting tied directly to local market needs rather than any sustained civic minting program.
