This image shows two views of an ancient silver coin. The coin features a design prominently depicting a detailed ear of grain, likely wheat or barley, as its focal element. On the left side, there is visible text in Greek characters that reads "METAΠ," identifying the issuing authority or location, possibly Metapontum, an ancient city on the southern coast of Italy known for its wheat production. The edges of the coin are slightly irregular, which is typical of ancient minting techniques. The background is black, providing contrast to highlight the details of the coin. On the right side, the reverse of the coin also features an ear of grain, with less text or detail.
