Stater: Tripod (obverse); Tripod Incuse (reverse)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two sides of an ancient coin. The coin is dark gray and oval with a raised edge. The left side of the coin has a tripod design with a curved top and two curved handles on either side. On the left side of the tripod are four symbols: a circle, a triangle, a delta, and a sigma. The right side of the coin has a similar tripod design but with a different pattern, the tripod has a long vertical line down the center and curved handles. The background of the image is white with shadows around the coin. The coin appears to be an ancient Greek coin, specifically a Stater, with a tripod on both the obverse and reverse sides.
