| Obverse description | Pegasos in flying gallop to the right, rendered with fine detail in the characteristic Ambrakian style; the winged horse displays articulated feathering on the near wing and a carefully modelled musculature. The letter Alpha (Α), the city abbreviation for Ambrakia, appears prominently in the lower field beneath the body of Pegasos. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of early fourth-century BC Corinthian-tradition coinage. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the bowl adorned with a floral or figural crest device. The goddess's facial features are rendered in a mature classical style with strong relief, displaying a serene, idealized profile. Behind the nape of the neck, a small figure — likely a warrior or Nike — appears in the lower field, a distinctive iconographic element characteristic of Ambrakian staters of this period. The broad flan accommodates the bold portraiture that fills the die field almost entirely. |
