| Obverse description | Tripod loutrophoros facing, rendered in a schematic yet bold style characteristic of late Classical Bruttian coinage. The cauldron bowl is depicted at the top with two prominent ring handles, supported by three slender legs terminating on a low base line. The retrograde legend ϘPO appears in the left field, identifying the issuing city of Kroton. The design fills the flan with confident, high-relief engraving typical of the Achaean colonial mint tradition. |
