CORINTHIA, Corinth. Circa 350/45-285 BC. AR Stater (22mm, 8.53 g, 1h). Pegasos flying left; koppa below / Head of Athena right, wearing Corinthian helmet with neck guard and laurel wreath on the bowl; A-P before neck, aegis to right. Ravel Period V, 1009 var. (letters flanking neck truncation); Pegasi 427 GR (same dies as illustration); BCD Corinth –; HGC 4, 1848. Toned, underlying luster, a few light scratches under tone. Near EF. Very rare variety.

Ex Mark & Lottie Salton Collection.

Calciati (Pegasi) appears to distinguish 427 GR from the standard type 427 due to graffiti on the former, but it also has the letter before the neck, rather than flanking the neck truncation as is usual. The are currently nearly 200 examples of Pegasi 427 on CoinArchives, only five are of this variety, and all are from the same die pair. This suggest the placement of the letters here was an engraver’s error that only affected a single die.
