| Obverse description | A crescent, rendered in high relief, occupies the upper portion of the flan with its horns pointing downward. Beneath the crescent, in the lower field, the retrograde or standard Greek ethnic abbreviation ΚΡΟ (for Kroton) is inscribed in incuse or raised letters. The composition is characteristically minimal, reflecting the diminutive size and fractional denomination of this small silver issue. |

| Reverse description | A large Greek letter Η (eta) dominates the central field, boldly incuse or in relief, serving as a denomination or civic mark. The letter is rendered in a plain, archaic style consistent with South Italian Greek coinage of the early fourth century BC. A faint dotted border encircles the design field along the coin's periphery. |
