| Obverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in full flight to the left with wings raised and forelegs extended, rendered in fine high relief characteristic of Corinthian coinage. The musculature of the body is naturalistically modeled, with clearly articulated wing feathers. Beneath the body of Pegasus appears the Corinthian civic control mark koppa (Ϙ) in the lower field. The flan is irregular and slightly ovoid, typical of the hammered technique employed for this series. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of Aphrodite facing right, her head enveloped in a sakkos (cloth head-covering) adorned with a wreath or fillet, with fine facial features rendered in a graceful Corinthian style. The goddess wears a beaded necklace visible at the base of her neck. An AM monogram appears in the left field behind the head, serving as a mint or magistrate control mark. A six-petalled star or rosette is placed in the lower right field before the face. The overall style reflects the refined artistic conventions of fourth-century Corinthian silver coinage. |
