Bruttium, Stater, Kroton, alliance with Temesa, c. 430-420 BC; AR (g 8,02; mm 16; h 6); ϘPO and TE, tripod, Rv. ϘPO, Corinthian helmet r. HNItaly 2122; SNG Copenhagen ??; SNG ANS 448.
Very rare, cabinet tone, very fine.

The production of coins of Kroton is very complex and still under study. Within the general development there are two or three parallel sequences, each based on different reverse type. The different reverse types might indicate different mints within the territory of Kroton: the commonest, the tripod, is for Kroton, the Corinthian helmet for Temesa and the eagle for Hipponion. The reason of these sequences is still uncertain and maybe they were made for a military alliance (symmachia) between the Achean cities.
