ITALY, Bruttium, Croton (Kroton), (500-460 B.C.), silver stater or nomos (7.85 grams), obv. tripod, crane to left, QP[O] to right, rev. tripod, incuse, (S.256, SNG Cop. 1759-1760, SNG Munich 1428, Gale 15, SNG ANS 267). Very fine/extremely fine and in places weakly struck on the obverse.
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 (eagles on the reverse).
