Obverse description Helmeted head of Athena/Minerva facing right, rendered in the Greco-Roman provincial style. The details are worn but the characteristic helmet and facial profile remain discernible. The coin is a cut half of a full bronze as, with the obverse occupying the curved portion of the flan. The field shows heavy patination consistent with extended burial or circulation.

Reverse description Pegasus depicted in right-facing profile with wings fully deployed, a characteristic type associated with the mint of Emporia. A wreath is positioned to the left, adjacent to one of the wings. The design is rendered in a provincial Greco-Roman style; details are partially obscured by patination and the cut nature of the flan. The flat cut edge divides the design field diagonally, consistent with intentional halving to produce a semis denomination.
