| Obverse description | Pegasos in flight to the right, with fully spread striated wings and foreleg raised; the mythical winged horse is depicted in bold archaic relief with a curving tail and detailed musculature. The letter A (koppa or alpha as city monogram for Ambrakia) appears below the horse in the lower field. The composition occupies the full flan in characteristic Corinthian-influenced style. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in left-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, revealing wavy hair falling to the neck. A small owl is depicted in the lower right field behind the neck, serving as a secondary type and civic emblem. The portrait is rendered in fine early Classical style with careful attention to facial features and helmet detail, all contained within a shallow incuse square border. |
