| Obverse description | Pegasus advancing to the left, rendered in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of late Akarnanien coinage. The winged horse is depicted in profile with outstretched wings, set within a plain field. The figure is enclosed by a decorative wreath border composed of laurel or olive branches framing the entire design. The flan is irregular and shows typical characteristics of hand-struck Greek coinage of the Hellenistic period. |

| Reverse description | Prora (prow of a warship) advancing to the right, rendered with detailed oar-banks and a prominent ram at the waterline, a type emblematic of Leukas and its maritime identity. Above the prow, a cornucopia is visible to the right. The two-line Greek inscription naming the civic ethnic and the magistrate appears in the upper left field. The composition is bold and well-centered despite the irregular flan, consistent with the late Acarnanian series. |
