| Obverse description | Head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress with the paws knotted beneath the chin; the facial features are rendered in fine archaic-to-early Hellenistic style, with a prominent brow and strong jaw. The lion skin covers the crown and flows behind the neck, its mane rendered in bold, stylized striations. The flan is irregular and slightly off-round, consistent with hand-struck coinage of the period. No legend is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse, shown in a brisk flying gallop to the left, with large outstretched wings rising above the body and all four legs extended in dynamic posture. Above the figure, the koppa symbol (Q) appears as a civic control mark, while to the right of the horse a monogram consisting of what appears to be the letters of a local magistrate or mint official is visible in the field. Below, a small control mark is present. The composition fills the flan and is characteristic of the Corinthian-influenced coinage struck at Dyrrachion. No border of dots is present. |
