| Beschrijving voorzijde | Poseidon depicted as a youthful, beardless male nude figure, save for a chlamys draped over both outstretched arms, striding vigorously to the right in the Archaic Greek artistic style. The deity's left arm is raised aloft, brandishing a trident in a casting pose, while the right arm is extended forward. The retrograde ethnic legend flanks the figure in the field to the right. A rope-pattern border frames the entire design. The bold, high-relief rendering is characteristic of the finest South Italian Archaic coinage of the late sixth century BC. |

Poseidonia — the Greek colony on the Tyrrhenian coast later renamed Paestum by the Romans — was founded by settlers from Sybaris around 600 BC, and this stater belongs to the city's earliest coinage phase, when the mint was still working out its incuse technique. The incuse fabric itself is characteristic of the Achaean colonies of Magna Graecia: a convention apparently shared across Kroton, Sybaris, Metapontion, and their satellites, though precisely why this regional group adopted the incuse method while other Greek mints did not remains unresolved.
The Dewing and De Luynes pedigrees attached to this type indicate specimens have passed through some of the most rigorously documented private collections in the field.
