Acarnania Argos AR Stater Pegasus (330-300 BC BC) Fine
This ancient Greek silver stater originates from the region of Acarnania, specifically the city of Argos Amphilochicum. Struck during the classical era between 375 and 350 BC, this coin represents a fascinating era of regional artistry and civic identity. Weighing approximately 6.83 grams, the piece contains about 0.22 troy ounces of silver, carrying the physical weight of ancient commerce. The obverse of the coin features the iconic image of Pegasus, the legendary winged horse, captured mid-flight as he glides toward the left. On the reverse, the design shifts to a profile of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and warfare, facing left and wearing her characteristic protective helmet. Cataloged by numismatists as Calciati-29, this silver stater stands as a remarkable testament to the enduring imagery of Greek mythology.
