| Beschrijving keerzijde | Helmeted head of Athena in right-facing profile, set within a recessed square incuse field. The goddess wears a Corinthian helmet with a prominent bowl and open cheek-guards, her hair rendered in loose locks beneath. A thunderbolt appears as a secondary symbol to the left behind the head, serving as an additional civic identifier for Ambracia. The portrait is executed in a bold, high-relief style consistent with the finest Epirote die-cutting of the early fourth century BC. |

Ambracia was a Corinthian colony founded around 625 BC, and its staters follow the Corinthian tradition so closely that distinguishing municipal issues from Corinth proper requires careful attention to the subsidiary symbols and ethnic abbreviations tucked into the design fields. The city controlled a strategically vital position on the Ambracian Gulf, and its coinage circulated heavily through Epeiros and into the broader northwestern Greek world during precisely this period of regional fragmentation following the Peloponnesian War.
Ravel's classification of the Corinthian pegasus staters remains the foundational reference, with nos. 81–82 placing this issue among the earlier Ambracian municipal emissions before the city's later entanglements with Pyrrhus of Epeiros reshaped its political allegiances entirely.
