Description
Italy, Bruttium, Croton (Kroton), (500-460 B.C.), silver stater or nomos (7.13 g), obv. tripod, crane to left on right, QPO upwards to left, rev. tripod, incuse, (S.256, SNG ANS 262, Gale 13, SNG Cop. 1750). Slightly off centred on reverse, weak in places, otherwise very fine/good fine and scarce.
Ex Dr L.J. Sherwin Collection, previously from M.R. Roberts, June 27, 1983, previously from Dolphin Coins.
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.
