ITALY, Bruttium, Croton (Kroton), (500-460 B.C.), silver stater or nomos (7.15 grams), obv. tripod, crane to right on left, QPO downwards to right, Q outwards, rev. tripod, incuse, (S.256, SNG Cop 1761 (Pl.33), cf.SNG Ash. 1473 (Pl.26), cf.SNG ANS 306 (Pl.10), Gale 15, cf.Attianese 328 (p.185), SNG Munich 1427 (Pl.46), SNG Fitz.753). Surface roughness, otherwise very fine and scarce.

This was a period when the issues were crudely struck on small dumpy flans, the tripod particularly on the reverse were very crude. An interesting step in the evolution to the next series with eagles on the reverse.
