背面描述	Helmeted or veiled head of Athena to left, her hair confined within a sakkos (cloth cap) and bound at the crown with a ring forming a short ponytail, as described for this Corinthian drachm series. She wears a triple-pendant earring and a pearl necklace, rendered in fine, detailed relief consistent with the high-quality die engraving of fourth-century Corinthian silver coinage. The portrait exhibits a serene, classical profile with carefully articulated facial features. The field is plain and unlettered on this type.

附加信息	Corinthian silver coinage dominated western Greek trade routes for centuries, and by the mid-fourth century the mint was producing drachms at a scale that made the Corinthian weight standard — roughly 8.6 grams for the stater — the benchmark for commerce across Sicily, southern Italy, and the Adriatic colonies. The drachm, at half the stater's weight, filled a specific transactional niche in local markets. Corinth's destruction by Rome in 146 BC brought the civic mint to an abrupt halt, making issues from this late Classical window among the last generations of an unbroken minting tradition stretching back to the seventh century.
