| Beschrijving keerzijde | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, with carefully rendered facial features in the Archaic style. A pearl necklace adorns her neck, a distinctive feature of Corinthian stater iconography of this period. Behind the goddess, ivy leaves are visible in the field, serving as subsidiary decorative and control elements. The entire design is set within a partially incuse square formed by the punch of the reverse die, a hallmark of early Greek minting technique consistent with the transitional Archaic period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinthian staters of this period were the dominant trade currency across the western Greek world, circulating from Epirus to Sicily and into the Adriatic colonies. Their acceptance was so widespread that dozens of cities — Leucas, Anactorium, Ambracia among them — struck their own staters copying the Corinthian type almost exactly, distinguished only by a single control letter or symbol. Numismatists call this entire family the "Pegasi" precisely because of Corinth's commercial reach in the fifth century.
Ravel's 1936 die study remains the foundational reference for sequencing these early issues.
