| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in flight to the left with wings raised and forelegs extended, occupying the central field of the flan. The figure is rendered in bold relief in the archaic Greek style characteristic of Akarnanian coinage. The incuse hammered flan bears the typical irregular contours of a hand-struck ancient silver issue. A small letter Λ (lambda), the initial of Leukas, appears in the field. The coin bears a suspension hole pierced at the top, indicating ancient use as a pendant. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leukas occupied an unusual position among Akarnanian poleis — technically an island colony of Corinth, it maintained strong ties to its mother city while navigating uneasy relationships with the surrounding mainland communities. This drachm falls within the period following the King's Peace of 387 BC, when Sparta's regional dominance reshaped alliance structures across northwest Greece and Leukas found itself periodically caught between competing power blocs. The BCD collection reference places this piece within a carefully sequenced die study, making provenance within that framework unusually traceable.
