| Obverse description | Forepart of a Pegasus facing right, with folded wings rendered in detailed feathered relief, occupying the central field. The figure is boldly modelled in the archaic Greek provincial style, with the horse's head turned to the right and the wing feathers displayed prominently. The flan is slightly irregular and the surfaces show characteristic hammered texture. |

| Reverse description | A fir tree depicted within a linear square border, its branches symmetrically spread in a stylised manner characteristic of Troadean civic bronze coinage. The ethnic inscription ΣΚ (abbreviation for Skepsis) appears in the lower field flanking the trunk, in Greek characters. A palm or leafy branch decorates the outer left field beyond the border, with additional foliage elements framing the composition. |
