| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse of Greek mythology, depicted in dynamic flight to the right, with large outstretched wings rendered in fine detail and forelegs raised in a cantering posture. The musculature of the creature is modelled with considerable artistic skill, conveying a sense of motion and vitality characteristic of the Corinthian coinage tradition. The city-letter Λ (Lambda), the civic initial of Leukas, appears in the lower left field beneath the figure. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hand-struck ancient Greek silver coinage of this period. |
