| Obverse description | Pegasus in flight to the left, depicted in the Corinthian tradition with outstretched wings rendered in fine parallel lines; the winged horse is shown in a dynamic cantering pose with forelegs raised and the bridle visible at the head. The figure is modeled in high relief against a smooth, plain field, characteristic of early fourth-century BC Ambracian coinage. No legend appears on this side. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a large rounded bowl and an elaborately decorated crest bearing a figure in relief on the upper surface; wavy locks of hair escape beneath the helmet nape. The head is rendered in high relief with fine facial modeling typical of early Classical Greek die-engraving. The ethnic letter Alpha (Α) appears to the left of the neck, serving as the initial identifier of the issuing city of Ambracia. |
