Reverse description Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in a dynamic prancing pose to the right with wings outstretched above its back, rendered in vigorous Hellenistic style. Beneath the horse, a small bee is shown as a secondary device, serving as a civic emblem of Emporion. The ethnic legend ΕΜΠΟΡΙΤΩΝ (meaning 'of the Emporionites') appears in Greek characters in the lower field or exergue, identifying the issuing city. The composition closely follows the typological tradition established by the earlier drachms of Emporion, reflecting the city's continued ties to Greek numismatic conventions.
