Stater

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.
