| Reverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, is depicted in full flight to the right, with wings fully spread and detailed in careful relief. The foreleg is raised and the tail curves elegantly behind, conveying a sense of dynamic motion. The design occupies the full flan within a broad incuse field typical of archaic Iberian-Greek coinage, and the naturalistic rendering reflects the artistic conventions of the western Greek colonial tradition. |
