| Additional information |
Kroton's silver staters of this period were struck as the city was recovering — politically and demographically — from the catastrophic defeat at the Sagras River against Lokroi and, more devastatingly, from Dionysios I of Syracuse's sack of the city around 379 BC. The incuse technique that had defined Kroton's coinage for nearly two centuries was abandoned by this point, reflecting broader shifts in Magna Graecian minting practice during the fourth century.
The specific HN Italy 2176 type falls within a late phase of Krotonian civic coinage, before the city's absorption into the Roman sphere following the Pyrrhic War effectively ended independent municipal striking.
