| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasos in full flight to the right, rendered with characteristic vigor; the winged horse is depicted with outstretched wings finely striated to convey feather detail, forelimbs extended and hind legs trailing. The musculature of the body is modeled in high relief, consistent with the accomplished die-cutting tradition of Epirote coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. The field below is plain, with no legend or additional devices. The flan is irregular in outline, as typical of hand-struck Greek silver coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ambrakia was a Corinthian colony on the Ambrakian Gulf, and its silver staters follow the Corinthian weight standard — a deliberate alignment with the mother city's commercial network that facilitated trade across the northwestern Greek world. The city's output was substantial enough to attract its own dedicated scholarship; Ravel's classification of the "Colts" series remains the foundational reference for distinguishing Ambrakian issues from the broader Pegasos coinage of Corinthian-tradition mints.
The 338 BC terminus corresponds to the Battle of Chaeronea, after which Macedonian hegemony reshaped the political independence of Ambrakian coinage.
