Stater

Corinthian staters of this period were among the most widely circulated coins in the ancient Mediterranean — so ubiquitous in trade that they acquired the nickname "colts" (pōloi) after Pegasus, and were imitated by dozens of city-states across northwestern Greece, Sicily, and the Adriatic colonies. Their acceptance was essentially supranational; Corinth's commercial reach meant these pieces passed through hands that had never seen the city itself.

Ravel 700 falls within a well-documented obverse die grouping, though die-link studies for this stretch of the series remain complicated by the sheer volume of surviving specimens and the number of active dies in simultaneous use.
