BRUTTIUM, Kroton. Circa 500-480 BC. AR Nomos (23mm, 7.99 g, 9h). Medium incuse issue. Tripod, legs surmounted by wreaths and terminating in lion's feet; (koppa)PO to left / Incuse eagle flying right, leg in relief. Gorini 6 (this coin illustrated); Attianese 8 (this coin illustrated); HN Italy 2095; SNG ANS 288 var. (orientation of ethnic); SNG Lloyd –; SNG Lockett 608. EF, toned. Exceptional strike.
From the Gasvoda Collection. Ex Edward J. Waddell Inventory 50692 (2013).
From the consignor: This is the finest coin I have encountered of this type. The engraving style surely indicates a master engraver was involved with both dies on this issue. Note the incuse eagle reverse is of a perfect size and completely spans the tripod obverse allowing for the obverse design to be fully struck up.
