| Obverse description | Eagle standing to left with wings spread and raised, depicted in high relief with finely rendered feathering across body and wings. The bird stands upon an olive branch bearing leaves and berries, which lies along the lower field. The composition conveys the symbolic power of the Krotoniate civic emblem, rendered in confident late Classical engraving style within a plain circular border. |
