| Obverse description | Eagle flying to right with wings fully spread, depicted within a rayed border composed of radiating lines encircling the entire field. The bird is rendered in the Archaic Greek style characteristic of Krotoniate coinage, with detailed feathering indicated on the body and outstretched wings. The rayed border gives the design a solar or sacred quality befitting the civic emblem of Kroton. |
