| Reverse description | An eagle stands in profile to the right, its wings partially raised, grasping a writhing serpent in its talons. The bird is depicted with careful attention to feather detail on the wings and tail, a hallmark of Krotoniate bronze coinage of this period. The ethnic legend KPO is inscribed in the left field, serving as an abbreviation for ΚΡΟΤΩΝΙΑΤΩΝ, identifying the issuing city of Kroton in Bruttium. The composition fills the flan dynamically, with the serpent's coils visible beneath the eagle's body. |
