Italy, Bruttium, Croton (Kroton), (500-460 B.C.), silver stater or nomos (7.164 grams), obv. tripod, crane to right, QPO upwards to left, rev. tripod, incuse, (S.256, SNG ANS 261, SNG Munich 1426). Slightly of centred on obverse, weak in places, otherwise nearly very fine/good good fine and scarce.
This was a period when the issues were crudely struck on small dumpy flans, the tripods particularly on the reverse were very crude. An interesting step in the evolution to the next series of eagles on the reverse.
