BRUTTIUM, Kroton. Circa 480-430 BC. AR Nomos (20mm, 8.15 g, 7h). Tripod with legs terminating in lion's feet; to right, heron standing left / Incuse tripod. Attianese 47; HN Italy 2102. Lightly toned, trace deposits, indications of undertype on obverse, die break on reverse. Good VF.
The reverse die which struck this coin has a significant die break on the upper design. Note the corresponding weakness at this point on the obverse strike. This reverse die is in a terminal state and surely soon after striking this coin found its way to the scrap heap.
