Obverse description	Pegasos depicted in dynamic flight to the left, with wings fully spread and forelegs raised in a rearing posture, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style. The creature is shown with muscular detail and naturalistic energy characteristic of Sikeliot coinage of the late Classical period. Below the figure, the Greek ethnic legend KAMAPINAIΩN is inscribed in the exergue and lower field, identifying the issuing city of Kamarina.

Reverse description	Draped bust of Persephone facing left, her hair bound with a wreath of grain ears, befitting her role as goddess of the harvest and the underworld. She wears a pendant earring and a necklace, rendered with fine detail typical of the skilled engravers active at Kamarina in the late fourth century BC. The field is plain, and the monogram or signature letters EY appear in the field, likely referencing the engraver or a mint official.
