| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered in vigorous high relief with flowing locks of hair and a full beard rendered in wavy, undulating strands. The laurel wreath crowns the deity's head with prominently modelled leaves. The portrait displays the powerful, mature physiognomy characteristic of fourth-century BC South Italian die engraving, with strong facial features and deeply articulated hair. A partial inscription appears to the left in the field. |

Lokroi Epizephyrioi occupied an unusual position among the Greek colonies of southern Italy — founded by Locrians from central Greece around 680 BC, it was among the few cities to maintain a consistent alliance with Syracuse rather than joining the Italic coalitions that repeatedly fractured the region. The staters struck in this quarter-century bracket coincide with the period of Dionysios I and his successors, when Syracusan military dominance over Bruttium made Lokroi's loyalty both politically useful and economically protected.
The city was famously governed under the laws of Zaleukos, reputed to be the earliest written Greek legal code.
