Stater

Ambrakia was a Corinthian colony on the Ambrakian Gulf, and its silver staters followed the Corinthian weight standard closely enough to circulate alongside Corinthian issues across the western Greek trade network. The city's independent mint was active throughout the early fourth century, a period when Ambrakia was nominally allied with — and frequently pressured by — Syracuse, Sparta, and the expanding Macedonian sphere in turn.

Ravel's classification of this type within the "Colts" series places it in a die study that distinguished Ambrakian from Corinthian and colonial issues by subtle ethnic variations. The BMC Greek #18 cross-reference anchors it firmly in the earlier part of the date range.
