Commentary
Semble de même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de l’American Numismatic Society (ANS. 235). Sur cet exemplaire, nous trouvons l’ethnique complet, réparti de chaque côté du trépied.
Appears to be the same obverse die as the American Numismatic Society specimen (ANS. 235). On this specimen, we find the complete ethnic figure, distributed on each side of the tripod.

Historical background
BRUTTIUM - CROTON
(530-510 BC)
Crotone is an Achaean colony founded in 710 BC Under the leadership of Milon, the Crotoniates captured Sybaris and destroyed it. In the following century, following internal struggles, the city declined before falling into the hands of Dionysius of Syracuse in 378 BC, then Agathokles in 296 BC and finally between those of Pyrrhus in 277 BCE. It was conquered by the Romans during the Second Punic War after the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC.
