| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse of Corinthian iconography, depicted in full figure flying to the left with characteristic curved, upswept wings rendered in archaic style. The creature is shown with forelegs raised and hindquarters in a pronounced galloping posture, the musculature and feathering of the wings indicated by fine incised lines consistent with early Archaic die engraving. The Corinthian city magistrate's symbol, the archaic koppa (Ϙ), appears below the figure in the lower left field, serving as a mint or civic identifier. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, with the design occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The overall style is characteristic of the Archaic period, displaying the bold, stylized naturalism typical of early Corinthian coinage. |
