| Beschrijving voorzijde | Pegasos in flight to left with distinctively curved wings; beneath the horse, a serpent coiled around a tortoise occupies the lower field. The figure of Pegasos is rendered in the vigorous archaic style characteristic of Corinthian-tradition coinage, with careful attention to musculature and wing detail. The incidental device below — the serpent and tortoise — serves as a distinguishing control symbol for this emission of the Ambracian mint. |

Ambracia, the Corinthian colony on the Ambracian Gulf, struck its pegasi on the Corinthian weight standard but insisted on distinguishing its coinage with a local identifier — a practice rooted in colonial autonomy rather than mere civic pride. The city flourished under the tyrant Periander's descendants before becoming a significant naval power during the Peloponnesian War period, when these staters would have funded mercenaries and fleet operations along the northwestern Greek coast.
Ravel's classification of the early Ambracian colts remains the foundational reference, though die linkage studies since have suggested the chronological boundaries of individual issues are tighter than her original sequencing implied.
