| Reverse description | A prominent ear of barley or wheat occupies the center of the field, rendered with fine detail showing individual grains and two drooping lateral leaves at the base, evoking the agricultural fertility of the Campanian region. To the left of the grain ear, the Oscan legend reading 'KAPU' is inscribed vertically in Old Italic script characters, identifying the issuing city of Capua. The entire design is enclosed within a neat beaded border. The composition is bold and emblematic, reflecting the civic pride and economic autonomy Capua exercised during its brief alliance with Carthage. |
