| Beschrijving keerzijde | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered with refined detail in the goddess's facial features and helmet crest. Behind the neckguard of the helmet, a dove is depicted in flight to the left, a distinctive emblematic device specific to the Ambracian series and serving as a secondary civic symbol. The die-work is accomplished in the classical tradition, with careful attention to the contours of the helmet cheek-pieces and the goddess's serene visage. The surrounding field is plain, and the design is set within the broad, slightly concave incuse characteristic of hammered Corinthian-type staters. |

Ambracia, the Corinthian colony on the Ambracian Gulf, struck its own pegasi independently of Corinth proper — a monetary assertion that reflected the city's political ambitions under the tyrant Periander and later its status as capital of the Molossian-aligned Epirote league. The specific date range here corresponds to a period of intensifying Macedonian pressure on Epirus, years before Philip II's campaigns effectively subordinated the region.
Ravel's classification of this piece as Colt 148 places it within a tightly defined die study. Ambraciote staters are notoriously difficult to sequence without die-linking.
