Obverse description Bare bust of Athena in profile facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet with a prominent forward-angled cheek guard and a flowing plume falling behind. The goddess's hair is rendered in wavy locks visible beneath the helmet rim, and her facial features are modelled in a confident Hellenistic style. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. The design follows the Greco-Iberian artistic tradition of the northeastern Iberian mints.

Reverse description Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in a vigorous prancing pose facing right, with wings raised and forelegs lifted. A radiate star or rosette appears in the upper left field above the creature's back. The Iberian legend 'untikesken' is inscribed in Levantine Iberian script along the lower exergual line, identifying the issuing community of Emporion-Untikesken. The composition follows the standard reverse type of this mint series, combining Hellenic iconography with indigenous epigraphy.
