| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasus in full flight to right, rendered in high relief with outstretched wings and extended foreleg characteristic of the Corinthian bridle-horse type. The mythological winged horse is depicted with vigorous dynamism, its body occupying the full width of the flan. Beneath the body, in the lower field, appears the Corinthian control mark koppa (Ϙ), serving as the civic identifier of the mint. The composition is bold and well-centred, typical of early fourth-century Corinthian die-cutting. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinthian staters circulated so widely across the Greek world that they earned a generic nickname — "colts" (pôloi) — a reference to the pegasus type that became synonymous with Corinthian silver throughout the Mediterranean. Colonial mints from Leucas to Syracuse struck close imitations, and Corinthian-weight silver was accepted as a de facto trade currency from Sicily to the Black Sea during this period.
The specific die pairing catalogued under Ravel 511 falls within a transitional phase of Corinthian coinage scholarship, distinguished by Ravel's landmark 1936 typology that first systematically organized the stater sequence by die linkages rather than style alone.
