| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasos in flying gallop to the right, rendered with fine detail in the characteristic Ambrakian style; the winged horse displays articulated feathering on the near wing and a carefully modelled musculature. The letter Alpha (Α), the city abbreviation for Ambrakia, appears prominently in the lower field beneath the body of Pegasos. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of early fourth-century BC Corinthian-tradition coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ambrakia, a Corinthian colony on the Ambrakian Gulf, struck pegasoi — the winged-horse staters shared across the Corinthian monetary tradition — as an autonomous city-state during the height of its commercial activity in the western Greek world. The city's output in this period was substantial enough to merit its own classification within Ravel's foundational typology of the series, separating Ambrakian dies from the Corinthian parent mint with reasonable confidence.
The dating bracket closes at 338 BC with good reason: Macedonian dominance following the Battle of Chaironea effectively curtailed independent coinage across much of mainland Greece. Ambrakia eventually fell to Pyrrhus of Epeiros in the early third century, ending its civic minting entirely.
