| Additional information |
Leukas, the Corinthian colony on the Akarnanian coast, operated as an independent mint issuing its own Pegasos staters throughout the fourth century while most surrounding poleis either struck under Corinthian authority or abandoned coinage altogether during the disruptions of the Social War and Philip II's expanding Macedonian influence. The Leucadian series is distinguished from Corinthian issues by the small lambda control mark, allowing attribution that would otherwise be nearly impossible given the shared type across the broader Corinthian monetary network.
Pegasi #114 falls within the period of Macedonian pressure on Akarnania, when Leucadian civic identity — and its mint — were under genuine political strain.
