Italy, Bruttium, Croton (Kroton), (500-460 B.C.), silver stater or nomos (8.02 grams), obv. tripod, crane to left, QPO to right, rev. tripod, incuse, (S.256, SNG Cop. 1759-1760, SNG Munich 1428, Gale 15, SNG ANS 267). Nearly extremely fine and rare in this condition.
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.
