| Obverse description | Pegasus depicted in flight, moving to the left, with wings spread and forelegs extended; the figure is rendered in a bold, archaic Sicilian style with strong relief. The underside of the horse shows typical Siculo-Greek artistic conventions of the fourth century BC. The field is plain and unlettered, with no surrounding legend. |

| Reverse description | Horse standing or prancing to the right, portrayed in a lively naturalistic style characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the fourth century BC. Above the horse's back, a six-pointed or eight-pointed star occupies the upper field, serving as a control symbol or civic emblem. The field is otherwise plain, with no encircling legend, consistent with the early autonomous bronze issues of Alaisa Archonidea. |
