| Obverse description | Pegasos in full flight to the left, depicted with outstretched, finely articulated wings rendered in a radiating feather pattern. The mythological winged horse is shown with forelegs raised and hind legs extended, conveying dynamic motion. The city ethnic letter A (for Ambrakia) appears in the lower right field beneath the creature. The style is characteristic of the Corinthian-influenced coinage of northwestern Greece, with bold, high-relief modeling of the body. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with flowing wavy hair escaping beneath the bowl. The goddess is depicted with fine, naturalistic facial features in the style of fourth-century Greek engraving. A crab symbol appears in the left field before the face, serving as a secondary control mark. The portrait is executed in high relief, filling the slightly irregular flan, typical of Ambrakian silver coinage of this period. |
