| Beschrijving voorzijde | The winged horse Pegasos depicted in vigorous flight to the left, with large outstretched wings rendered in fine detail, the body shown in high relief with forelegs extended forward and hindquarters powerfully modeled. The tail curves gracefully upward toward the right field. Beneath the figure, in the lower field, the Greek letter Lambda (Λ) serves as the civic control mark identifying the issuing city of Leukas. The composition is characteristic of the Corinthian stater tradition, with the Pegasos type employed across numerous colonies of the Corinthian monetary sphere. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Leukas, the Corinthian colony on the Akarnanian coast, struck its staters within a regional tradition heavily influenced by Corinth's pegasos coinage — a design framework shared across Corinthian colonies but distinguished by individual control marks and secondary types. The city's output was substantial enough that its issues circulated well beyond the Ionian coastal zone, turning up in hoards as far east as Macedon and as far south as the Peloponnese.
The decades bracketing 300 BC were turbulent for Leukas specifically: the city changed hands between Macedonian and Epirote influence repeatedly, with Pyrrhos of Epeiros briefly controlling the region before his Italian campaigns drew attention westward.
