Bruttium, Kroton AR Obol. Circa 530-500 BC. Tripod with legs terminating in lion's paws; QPO to left / Incuse tripod. Attianese, Kroton, Ex Numis Historia (1992), 27 = P. Attianese, Calabria greca III (1980), 1604a; Roma XII, 50; Roma e30, 22. 0.35g, 11mm.

Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare; apparently only the second known example.

The early silver fractions of Kroton with an incuse design are all extremely rare - there are only 12 such obols present on CoinArchives - however all but two of these are of the later incuse eagle type.
