The silver staters of Acarnania from the mid-4th century BC reflect the coinage of a Greek region on the western coast of central Greece, where various city-states and the Acarnanian League issued their own distinctive coins. These staters typically featured local river gods, mythological figures, or symbols specific to individual cities. This Extremely Fine specimen boasts crisp precision in the strike with gently recessed fields. Today, Acarnanian AR Stater Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Anactorium, a strategically important coastal city in Acarnania, produced silver staters between 350-300 BC that often depicted Pegasus, the winged horse, reflecting the city’s Corinthian colonial heritage and maritime connections. The coinage reveals Acarnania’s participation in the broader Greek monetary economy during a time of political fragmentation following the decline of major Greek powers and preceding the rise of Rome in the western Mediterranean.
All Acarnanian AR Stater Coins are available in Extremely Fine condition with a stunning 5/5 strike grade, indicating a strong, well-centered strike. The 4/5 surface grade is evident in the light wear that is found only on the highest points, with sharp detail in the protected areas. Overall, the coins have a uniform, silver-grey tone and subtle blue, violet iridescence.
The obverse of the Acarnanian AR Stater features a right-profile depiction of the Pegasus, the mythical winged flying horse. On the reverse, the silver stater features the goddess Athena. These coins circulated in local and regional trade, their artistic style and imagery marking them as products of a city at the crossroads of Greek commerce and political alliances during the turbulent fourth century BC.
