Lot 64

CORINTHIA, Corinth. Circa 560/550 BC. Stater (Silver, 20mm, 8.85 g). Pegasus flying to left, with curled wing; below, Ϙ. Rev. Incuse of millsail pattern. ACGC 220. BCD -. Ravel 19. Extremely rare and important. Slightly rough surfaces and with an obverse struck from a slightly worn die, otherwise, nearly extremely fine.


From a European collection, acquired prior to 2005.

With this coin we have an example of Corinth’s earliest coinage. These must have been produced shortly after Aegina began striking silver coins, which, themselves, were inspired by the coins of king Kroisos of Lydia.
