Obverse description	Bare-headed, bearded bust of Poseidon facing right, with flowing hair and full beard rendered in a bold provincial style. A trident rests over the deity's left shoulder, serving as the primary divine attribute. The portrait is executed in high relief with strong, expressive modelling typical of early Roman colonial issues from Corinth. The field is plain and unlettered.
Obverse script	Latin

Reverse description	Pegasus, the winged horse sacred to Corinth, depicted in right-facing gallop with wings raised. The figure is rendered in a compact, stylised manner characteristic of Corinthian bronze coinage. The Latin colonial abbreviation CORINT appears in the lower field or exergue beneath the figure, serving as the mint identifier. The design draws directly on Corinth's pre-Roman civic coinage tradition, in which Pegasus was the dominant reverse type.
