| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasus in flight to the left, depicted in a dynamic striding pose with wings spread and raised, the forelegs extended forward and hindlegs trailing. The mythological winged horse is rendered in high relief with fine detailing on the feathered wings and musculature. The koppa (Ϙ), the archaic Corinthian civic symbol, appears below the figure in the lower field. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, typical of early fourth-century Corinthian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Corinthian staters of this period were among the most widely circulated coins in the Greek world, accepted across the Adriatic, Sicily, and into the western Mediterranean at a time when Corinth's trading networks rivaled Athens. The so-called "Pegasus coins" — kolophon to Corinthian commerce — circulated so far and so freely that dozens of western Greek cities struck imitative issues, many nearly indistinguishable from the originals.
BCD Corinth #55 places this piece within a tightly sequenced die study compiled from one of the most exhaustive single-owner collections of Corinthian coinage ever assembled and auctioned.
