| Obverse description | Tripod with high neck and three legs surmounted by wreaths, terminating in lion's paw feet; the city ethnic K-P-O is distributed at the sides and below the tripod; an ivy leaf appears to the left in the field. The design is rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of Krotoniate silver coinage of the late Classical period. |
