| Reverse description | A tripod-lebes, the principal civic emblem of Kroton, depicted in the centre of the field with its bowl surmounted by volute handles and its three legs terminating in finely rendered lion's paw feet, a hallmark of the Krotonian coinage series. To the right of the tripod, a heron stands facing left atop the Greek letter delta (Δ), the latter serving as a control mark or magistrate's symbol. The ethnic legend KPO (an abbreviation of KPOTON) appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The design is executed with the precise, elegant engraving characteristic of late Classical Bruttian coinage. |
