Stater

Terina was a small Greek colony on the Tyrrhenian coast of Bruttium, founded by Croton around 480 BC. It produced coinage for only a few generations before being destroyed by the Bruttians in the late fourth century, which keeps the entire series tight in number. The city's issues are notable among students of early south Italian coinage for the exceptionally high quality of their engraving — a product of direct stylistic influence from Croton's own die-cutters, whose workshop traditions are visible in the fabric.

HN Italy 2569 falls in the earliest phase of Terina's output, contemporary with Croton's own mid-fifth century florescence.
