| Obverse description | Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, depicted in full flight facing left with wings outstretched and feathers rendered in fine detail. The creature is shown in a dynamic, prancing posture with all four legs extended, the curling tail adding movement to the composition. In the lower field beneath the figure appears the Corinthian civic control mark koppa (Ϙ), serving as a mint identifier. The design is executed in high relief with bold, confident engraving characteristic of the Corinthian die-cutting tradition of the mid-to-late Classical period. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered with fine classical portraiture. Behind the goddess, a round shield is visible, decorated with a trident motif serving as an additional control symbol. Below the neck truncation appears the letter alpha (A), functioning as a secondary control mark or magistrate's initial. The portrait displays the refined modeling and idealized facial features characteristic of Corinthian silver coinage of the fourth to early third century BC, set within a shallow incuse square field. |
