| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head and adorned with a prominent crest; wavy locks of hair escape below the helmet and fall along the neck. The goddess's features are rendered in the refined late Classical style associated with Corinthian engravers. To the right of the helmet in the field, a small figure of a warrior or Bellerophon in fighting pose is visible as a magistrate's symbol or control mark. The ethnic letters Δ and I appear flanking the reverse design as part of the magistrate's inscription. |

Corinthian staters of this period circulated far beyond the city itself — they were among the most widely accepted trade coins of the 4th century Mediterranean, found in hoards from Sicily to the Levant. Corinth's western colonies adopted the same type wholesale, creating a currency zone that functioned with unusual consistency across distant markets. The sheer volume produced across this span makes die studies unusually productive; Ravel catalogued over a thousand die combinations, and BCD material has refined that attribution considerably.
