| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kroton, the Achaean colony on the toe of Italy's boot, was by the mid-fifth century already in steep political decline following its catastrophic defeat at the Sagras River and the near-total destruction of neighboring Sybaris — a campaign in which Krotoniate forces had participated decisively. The city retained its mint but at diminished output, and the small silver fractions produced during this window reflect a local economy increasingly dependent on regional rather than pan-Hellenic trade networks.
The extensive cross-reference trail this piece carries — McClean, Lockett, SNG Australia — signals its appearance in several major early twentieth-century collections, suggesting consistent survival in cabinet condition rather than from excavation.
