| Additional information |
Leukas was unusual among Akarnanian-region mints in retaining the Corinthian stater tradition long after most western Greek colonies had drifted toward local types. This persistence was deliberate — Leukas maintained close political and commercial ties with Corinth, and currency compatibility with Corinthian-weight silver was an economic tool, not conservatism. The period 350–320 BC corresponds with growing Macedonian pressure across the region, during which many smaller Akarnanian poleis lost effective autonomy.
BCD Akarnania 221 is among the more precisely attributed specimens in the series, cross-referenced against the Pegasi corpus die linkage work.
