| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two confronted sea-monsters (kete) facing one another, their serpentine bodies intertwined to form a roughly heart-shaped enclosure at the centre of the field. Within this central compartment, the ethnic legend ITA is incised in archaic Greek capitals. The entire composition is enclosed within a border of dots running along the coin's periphery, a hallmark of Itanian civic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Itanos occupied the far northeastern tip of Crete, a position that made it more commercially oriented toward the Levant and Cyprus than toward the Greek mainland. The city maintained enough independent authority through the fourth and third centuries BC to issue its own silver coinage even as many smaller Cretan poleis surrendered monetary autonomy to larger neighbors. Its staters are among the rarer products of ancient Cretan civic minting — the multiple collection references here reflect how thinly these pieces are distributed across major holdings rather than any abundance in the record.
