| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse of Corinthian iconography, depicted in full flight to the left with wings fully spread and forelegs extended. The finely detailed musculature and feathering of the wings reflect the accomplished die-cutting of the Corinthian mint during this period. The koppa (Ϙ), an archaic Greek letter serving as the initial of Korinth, appears below the body of Pegasos in the lower field. The design is rendered in high relief against a plain, slightly irregular flan typical of hammered coinage of the early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, revealing the goddess's facial features in fine detail. The helmet is adorned with a raised cheekpiece and a prominent bowl, with the crest slightly visible above. A large olive branch or palm frond appears in the left field behind the head, a secondary symbol characteristic of this Corinthian stater type. The modeling of the face is sensitively rendered, showing Athena with a straight nose, firm chin, and hair emerging from beneath the helmet, consistent with Corinthian die-engraving style of the early fourth century BC. |
