Corinthian silver had an unusual reach for a Greek civic coinage — Corinth's commercial dominance across the Adriatic meant its staters and fractions circulated as far as Illyria and southern Italy, accepted well outside the issuing polis. By the third century BC, Corinth's own monetary output was complicated by the founding of Syracuse and other western colonies that produced near-identical types, making attribution of individual specimens a persistent challenge for specialists.

BMC Greek 26 places this squarely in the later colonial issues debated by Jenkins and others. The weight standard here runs lighter than the canonical Corinthian stater fraction, a detail that continues to inform arguments about which mint — Corinth proper or a western dependency — struck it.
