| Obverse description | Draped female head facing right, adorned with a wreath of ears of wheat in the Hellenistic tradition, consistent with depictions of Persephone or a local deity. The hair is rendered in wavy locks falling behind the neck, with fine engraving typical of Emporitane coinage. The portrait is set in a plain field with no surrounding legend. The style reflects the strong Greek artistic influence present at the colony of Emporion. |

| Reverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, wings outstretched and forelegs raised, depicted with a distinctively modified bridled head characteristic of Emporitane issues. The figure is rendered in a dynamic, Hellenistic style against a plain field. The ethnic legend ΕΜΠΟΡΙΤΩΝ appears in Greek characters along the lower exergual area, identifying the issuing city. The overall composition closely follows prototypes derived from Corinthian stater reverse types, adapted for local Iberian Peninsular circulation. |
