| Obverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the left, rendered with finely detailed musculature and outstretched wings displayed upward; the bridle is visible on the head, and the tail curves naturally behind the body. The forelegs are raised in a characteristic galloping posture. The Corinthian koppa (Ϙ), serving as a mint control symbol, appears beneath the body in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Corinthian staters were among the most widely circulated coins of the Greek world, accepted across the western Mediterranean with a reliability that most civic issues never achieved. Their reach extended so far that Syracusan merchants reportedly preferred them to local issues for large transactions. The Corinthian mint maintained extraordinary die consistency across generations of production — a deliberate policy that made the type internationally legible at a glance.
The 345–307 BC window spans the period of Timoleon's campaigns in Sicily, during which Corinthian staters flooded westward as military pay and supply coin.
