| 背面描述 | The reverse bears the retrograde Greek civic abbreviation KAV ΛO, identifying the issuing city of Kaulonia, inscribed in archaic incuse characters between two horizontal lines forming a two-line legend. Several pellets are distributed within the field alongside the inscription, serving as decorative or denominational markers. The lettering is executed in the retrograde direction standard for early South Italian Greek coinage of this period. The overall design is rendered in incuse, consistent with the Achaean monetary tradition of Magna Graecia. |

Kaulonia was an Achaean colony on the Bruttian coast of southern Italy, founded sometime in the seventh century BC and perpetually overshadowed by its more powerful neighbors Kroton and Sybaris. Its independent coinage output was modest by any measure, and the fractional silver series — of which this twelfth-stater is among the smallest — reflects a local economy conducting small-denomination exchange rather than interregional trade. The city was destroyed by Dionysios I of Syracuse in 389 BC, ending its mint entirely.
