| Reverse description | Eagle depicted standing to left or right with wings folded and head turned back over its shoulder, a device long associated with Kroton and its Achaean heritage. Two annulets and a crescent are disposed around the bird in the field, serving as subsidiary symbols. The design is rendered in the compact, summary style typical of small-denomination hammered silver coinage of Magna Graecia in the early Hellenistic period. |
