| Additional information |
Corinthian silver was among the most widely trusted coinage in the Greek world, circulating far beyond the Peloponnese into Sicily, Epirus, and the Adriatic colonies. The city's commercial reach — built on its position astride the isthmus controlling land transit between central Greece and the Peloponnese — made its staters and fractions de facto trade currency across the western Greek sphere. This drachm falls within a period when Corinthian coinage was being struck not only at Corinth itself but at numerous dependent and allied mints, complicating attribution for individual pieces.
BCD Corinth 154 places this among the fourth-century fractional issues catalogued in the landmark Leu Numismatik collection sale of 2006.
