| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse, shown standing or striding to the left within an olive wreath border. The figure is rendered in high relief in the characteristic Corinthian-influenced style of Leukas, with the wings prominently displayed and a trident or spear visible to the left of the figure. The composition is enclosed within a wreath of olive leaves that frames the entire field, a hallmark of Leukadian coinage of this period. |
