| 裏面の説明 | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the crown of the head, rendered in fine Classical style with carefully detailed facial features. To the right of Athena's head, the control letter N appears in the upper field. Further to the right, Ares stands facing right, clad in military attire, holding a spear upright in his right hand and bearing a round shield on his left arm. The entire design is set within a concave incuse circle, a hallmark of Corinthian stater reverses. |

Corinthian staters served as the dominant trade currency across the western Greek world for roughly two centuries, circulating so widely through Sicily, southern Italy, and the Adriatic colonies that ancient sources sometimes called silver coinage generically "Corinthian." The city's position controlling the Diolkos — the overland portage route across the isthmus — made it the natural clearinghouse between Aegean and western Mediterranean commerce, and the stater was the instrument of that advantage.
The specific Ravel classification places this piece within a well-documented die study; Ravel's 1936 monograph on Corinthian coinage remains the foundational reference, cross-indexed here against the BCD collection catalogued by Mathew Noe.
