背面描述	Bare head of the nymph Peirene (possibly Aphrodite) facing right, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with elaborately waved and curled hair bound with a fillet or diadem. The facial features are delicately modelled with a smooth, idealised profile. A small monogram or control mark appears in the left field behind the head, serving as an official mint or magistrate symbol.

附加信息	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.
