This numismatic piece is inspired by the famed silver stater of ancient Corinth, characterized by the distinctive image of the winged horse Pegasos on the obverse. Pegasos was deeply tied to Corinthian mythology and served as a powerful emblem of the city’s identity, signifying both swift mobility and divine favor. The coin’s fine detailing highlights the horse’s majestic wings, capturing the artistic style prevalent in Greek coinage from the 5th to 4th century BCE. Such coin designs played an influential role in trade across the Mediterranean, reflecting Corinth’s commercial and cultural significance in the ancient Greek world.
On the reverse, a helmeted head of Athena is prominently displayed, underscoring the goddess’s position as a protector of heroic endeavors and a guardian of wisdom and warfare. Surrounding Greek inscriptions in abbreviated form anchor the design historically, identifying Corinth as the issuing city-state. While this particular piece is a modern reproduction, it mirrors the artistic flair and historical depth of the original stater, making it an appealing collectible for enthusiasts of classical antiquity and numismatic art.
