| Obverse description | Pegasus in flight to left, depicted with pointed, elegantly rendered wings spread upward; the winged horse is shown with forelegs extended and hind legs tucked, conveying dynamic motion. The die engraving exhibits the refined style characteristic of Corinthian coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. The koppa (Ϙ), the archaic Greek letter serving as the civic badge of Corinth, appears in the lower field beneath the figure. The flan is irregular, as typical of hammered ancient coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted or veiled head of Athena to left, her hair confined within a sakkos (cloth cap) and bound at the crown with a ring forming a short ponytail, as described for this Corinthian drachm series. She wears a triple-pendant earring and a pearl necklace, rendered in fine, detailed relief consistent with the high-quality die engraving of fourth-century Corinthian silver coinage. The portrait exhibits a serene, classical profile with carefully articulated facial features. The field is plain and unlettered on this type. |
