| Additional information |
Korkyra's bronze coinage of this period reflects the island's uneasy position between Corinthian colonial ties and growing Epeirote political pressures. The city had been a flashpoint a generation earlier — the Kerkyraean civil conflict of 427 BC drew Athenian and Corinthian fleets into direct confrontation, an episode Thucydides treated as the prototype of stasis in the Greek world. By the fourth century the polis was issuing its own bronze for local transactions largely independent of that turbulent history.
HGC 6#89 distinguishes several die groupings within the BMC 102–116 range, suggesting production across multiple magistrate terms rather than a single emission.
