obv. Head of Apollo facing to right, his hair long and flowing,
wearing a laurel-wreath and a necklace with a lion′s head ornament.
rev. The naked infant Herakles seated facing on sushions,
strangling two serpents which he holds in each hand
On the night that Herakles was to be born, Hera, knowing of her husband Zeus his adultery with the mortal Alkmene, persuaded Zeus to swear an oath that the child born that night to a member of the House of Perseus would be High King. Hera did this knowing that while Herakles was to be born a descendant of Perseus, so too was Eurystheos, son of Sthenelos. Once the oath was sworn, Hera hurried to Alkmene her dwelling and slowed the birth of Herakles by forcing Ilithyia, goddess of childbirth, to sit crosslegged with her clothing tied in knots, thereby causing Herakles to be trapped in the womb. Meanwhile, Hera caused Eurystheos to be born prematurely, making him High King in place of Herakles. She would have permanently delayed the birth of Herakles had she not been foiled by Galanthis, servant of Alkmene, who lied to Ilithyia, saying that Alkmene had already delivered the baby. Upon hearing this, she jumped in surprise, untying the knots and thus allowing Alkmene to give birth to Herakles. Having failed to prevent his birth, Hera sent two serpents to kill the baby Herakles as he lay in his cot. While his twin brother Iphikles screamed in terror, Herakles throttled the snakes, one in each hand, and was found by his nurse playing with their limp bodies as if they were toys.
The reverse motif is iconographically based on the symbolism of the Asia Minor cities of Ephesus, Byzantium, Cyzicus, Samos, Knidos and Iasos from the late 5th and early 4th centuries BC. However, a closer look reveals clear stylistic and compositional differences. While the Asia Minor coin depicts the boy Heracles flatly unfolded, comparatively passive, with arms surrounded by snakes, the Crotonian work gains significant depth due to the right leg bent forward. The dynamics of the event and the strength of the child hero are emphasized by the fact that the hero bravely looks one of the attacking snakes in the eye and grabs both of them by the collar at the same time, while pushing their bodies apart with strong arms. These compositional advances not only reflect a different artist′s hand, but also a difference in time, which is also confirmed by the obverse, which is obviously stylistically later. There is therefore probably no direct temporal connection with the influences of Asia Minor.
The reverse type of this coin is symbolic of the struggle of several South Italian cities against the tyrant Dionysios I. Highly interesting and very rare cointype.
