| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style with carefully detailed facial features. Behind the goddess, a cock strides to the right along a ground line, serving as the distinctive symbol of Ambracia and differentiating this issue from other Corinthian-type staters. The retrograde ethnic legend ΑΜΠΡΑΚΙΩΤΑΝ appears in the field, identifying this coinage as belonging to the Ambraciots. The incuse square reverse is characteristic of early Greek hammered technique. |
