antwerpen2306 Posted April 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 I was lucky to buy this stater last Saturday on the club auction. It is not the kind of coin I usually collect, but the price (45 €) decided me to buy. It would be a stater of Corinth, SNG COP84, but I know nothing of this coins. I was checking quickly in Wildwinds and there this staters have mostly a symbol on the reverse and a letter on the obverse. Problem is also that there are many cities with this coin. Can anybody confirm or give information where to look ? Thanks. 310-300 BC -- 8.48 gr 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanhill Posted April 10, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 10, 2023 Congratulations on your purchase. It looks like the Greek letter koppa just below Pegasus's leg, so I believe you do have a coin from the city of Corinth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougsmit Posted April 14, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 14, 2023 Technically speaking, the Pegasus is on the obverse (anvil die) and Athena on the reverse (punch die). If you were considering trying to get a complete set, this reference should talk you out of it: http://numismatics.org/digitallibrary/ark:/53695/nnan60663 My best stater from Corinth is a common one. Note all three of my silver coins have reticulation (common with these very good silver issues): In addition to the many staters, you can get smaller silver and minor bronzes as well. drachm trihemiobol AE13 note the qoppa under Pegasus 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
