CORINTHIA. Corinth. Circa 500-450 BC. Triobol (Silver, 11 mm, 1.36 g, 1 h). Forepart of Pegasos to left, wearing bridle and with a border of pearls along the join of the wing to the horse's shoulder. Rev. Head of Aphrodite to right, with her hair bound by a simple diadem tied at the back and wearing a pearl necklace. Cf. BCD Corinth 32, McClean 6088 and Rosen 227, but from different dies, and possibly unpublished. Of great rarity. A coin of wonderful late Archaic-early Classical style, struck from dies engraved by an exceptionally fine artist. Slightly rough surfaces, otherwise, about extremely fine.
