4th Century BC Corinthia, Corinth Silver Stater NGC Choice About Uncirculated 5x3

The winged horse of Corinth is one of the most recognizable devices in all of ancient Greek coinage, and this 4th century BC Stater from Corinthia presents Pegasus with exceptional sharpness and presence. Corinth was among the wealthiest and most commercially active city-states of the Greek world, and its silver Staters circulated widely across the Mediterranean as a trusted trade currency. The Fine Style designation from NGC Ancients signals that this coin was produced from particularly artistically refined dies, placing it above typical examples of the type.

The obverse presents a boldly struck Pegasus in full gallop to the left, with the wings rendered in sharp, layered detail and a small koppa (Corinthian civic symbol) beneath the body. The reverse bears a helmeted head of Athena facing left, her Corinthian helmet pushed back to reveal flowing curls, with a small Ares statue visible in the field to the right - a combination of civic and divine imagery characteristic of Corinthian coinage at its artistic peak. The portrait exhibits strong relief and well-defined facial features consistent with the Fine Style designation.

NGC Ancients has certified this coin Choice About Uncirculated with a Strike of 5 out of 5 and a Surface of 3 out of 5, with the notation of scuffs explaining the surface score. The strike is essentially perfect for the type, capturing the full artistry of the dies, and the overall surfaces retain considerable detail and original metal quality. Fine Style Corinthian Staters at this grade level are genuinely sought after by collectors of Greek civic coinage, and the combination of an elite strike and a celebrated mythological device makes this an appealing example. For those seeking a well-struck, certified ancient Greek silver coin with immediate visual impact, this piece delivers. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
