Stater: Barley (reverse)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Stater: Barley (reverse) by an unknown artist shows a coin with a dark metallic color, likely silver or grey. The coin has an irregular octagonal shape with slightly rounded edges. The surface of the coin features a raised design of an ear of barley. The ear of barley has long, thin leaves and a thick stem. There are lines extending from the top of the coin, converging at the top of the ear of barley. There are some raised symbols or letters on the left and right sides of the coin. The background of the image is a plain white surface with a shadow cast by the coin on the right side.
