"Colt" coins or coins of Corinth and the surrounding areas are favorites of collectors. The Pegasus on the obverse and Athena reverse remain static while the symbols are plentiful. Many collectors try to assemble large collections based solely on the symbols. While this coin is more of a one-side piece as the obverse is not fully struck, the reverse is delightful with a rare and not oft seen facing owl symbol.
