CORINTHIA. Corinth. Circa 400-375 BC. Diobol (Silver, 11 mm, 0.82 g, 11 h). Ϙ Pegasos flying to left. Rev. Pegasos with curved wings standing to left on a stepped plinth. Cf. BCD Corinth 196 ( but there the reverse Pegasos is walking and is accompanied by a magistrate's initials ). For the same types as here see the diobol from Leukas, BCD Akarnania 190.1 and SNG Copenhagen 333. a coin of particularly academic importance. Sligtly porous. Very fine.

The particularly archaic way the wings of the Pegasos are shown, and the presence of the base (not clearly visible on the BCD example or on the known examples from Leukas), probably indicates that the depiction on the reverse is that of an actual late Archaic or early Classical bronze statue in Corinth. In addition, the presence of two images of Pegasos might also be a way of indicating to the ancient user that the coin is a diobol.
