背面描述	Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style with delicate facial features and wavy locks of hair visible beneath the helmet rim. The cheek-guards of the helmet are raised. A small forepart of Pegasos appears as a control symbol in the lower right field before the goddess. The die engraving demonstrates the accomplished craftsmanship characteristic of Corinthian mint production in the early fourth century BC.

附加信息	Corinthian staters of this period were among the most widely circulated silver coins in the Greek world, used extensively by mercenary employers to pay troops across the Mediterranean — Xenophon records Corinthian-standard silver being used in Asia Minor during precisely these decades. The type was so trusted that colonial mints from Leucas to Syracuse struck near-identical issues, a deliberate monetary alignment rather than imitation. Pegasi #294 places this piece within a closely documented die sequence. The Corinthian series is unusually well catalogued for its era precisely because the volume of surviving examples made systematic die-linking possible.
