The silver stater of Corinth is one of the most iconic and widely distributed coins of the ancient Greek world, produced by one of antiquity’s greatest commercial and maritime powers at a mint whose output was so prolific and so trusted that Corinthian staters circulated from the Adriatic to the Black Sea as one of the ancient Mediterranean’s most recognized and accepted trade currencies. This Corinthian AR Stater earned a Choice Extremely Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with a strong 5/5 strike grade. Right now, Corinthian AR Stater Silver Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Corinthian AR Stater Silver Coin available here was struck in Corinth in the 4th century BC and comes with a Choice Extremely Fine grade from the NGC. The coin’s most impressive feature is its 5/5 strike grade, earned as a result of the strongly struck, centered design elements that retain a crisp level of detail. The 2/5 surface grade indicates a coin with moderate-to-heavy wear and tear, with some toning possible.
The 4th century BC was one of the most productive and artistically distinguished periods in the long history of Corinthian stater production, a century during which the city’s mint refined and elevated its already celebrated coinage tradition to new heights of die engraving quality and consistent silver purity. This was a period of intense political activity for Corinth, encompassing the Corinthian War, the King’s Peace, and the city’s complex relationships with Macedon, Athens, and Sparta.
In the obverse design of the Corinthian Silver Stater, the magnificent winged horse, Pegasus, is shown in full flight or with foreleg raised in a graceful, energetic pose. For the reverse of the Corinthian AR Stater Coin, the design element presents a helmeted head of Athena rendered with the exceptional precision and idealized beauty of the finest Corinthian die engravers, her Corinthian helmet elaborately crested and her features executed with an elegant refinement.
