| Beschrijving keerzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head and adorned with a prominent crest, rendered in fine archaic-classical style. The facial features are finely engraved with careful attention to the eye, nose, and lips. The letter B (Beta) appears below the chin serving as a control mark, while a grape bunch on a vine is depicted in the field behind the head. The reverse die is set within a shallow incuse square, characteristic of Corinthian stater coinage of this period. |

Corinthian staters were among the most widely circulated coins of the ancient Mediterranean — so ubiquitous in trade that they earned the nickname "colts" (pôloi) in antiquity, a reference to the Pegasos type that defined the series for centuries. Their acceptance ran from Sicily to the Levant, and Corinthian colonies struck close imitations, making precise attribution of individual pieces a genuine scholarly problem that Ravel's 1936 corpus was the first systematic attempt to solve.
By 300 BC the city's commercial dominance was past its peak following Macedonian encroachment, but the stater type continued uninterrupted — monetary continuity serving trade networks long after political power had shifted.
