| Additional information |
Terina was a small Greek colony on the Tyrrhenian coast of Bruttium, founded by Croton around 480 BC, and its coinage was produced across a relatively narrow window before the city was destroyed — first disrupted by Agathocles of Syracuse and ultimately obliterated by Hannibal around 204 BC, who reportedly massacred the population and razed the site to prevent its use as a Roman base. The staters attributed to the 420–400 BC period fall within the city's artistic peak, when engravers working in the Magna Graecian tradition produced dies of remarkable individuality.
The Regling corpus, the foundational reference for Terina coinage, carries no entry for this specific die combination — a gap that places this piece among the unregistered varieties and complicates precise attribution within the series.
