ITALY, Bruttium, Croton (Kroton), (500-460 B.C.), silver stater or nomos (7.97 gm), obv. tripod, crane on right to left, QPO upwards on left, rev. tripod, incuse, (S.256, SNG ANS 269, Gale 16, SNG Cop. 1751, SNG Munich 1426). Good very 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 (eagles on the reverse).
