| Additional information |
Corinthian staters of this period circulated far beyond the Corinthian sphere — they were effectively the trade currency of the western Greek world, found in hoards from Sicily to Illyria and used extensively by mercenary forces throughout the fourth century. Corinth's commercial reach through its colonies at Syracuse, Ambracia, and Leucas meant these coins needed no political endorsement to travel; merchants simply accepted them.
Ravel's classification system for this series, published in 1936, remains the standard reference despite covering over 1,000 die combinations.
