| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse, striding left with wings prominently spread upward, rendered in fine relief with careful attention to musculature and feather detail. The creature is depicted in a walking pose with forelegs slightly raised. Beneath the body of Pegasos, in the lower field, appears the Corinthian control mark koppa (Ϙ), serving as a mint identifier. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, characteristic of Corinthian silver coinage of this period. The overall style reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of the Corinthian mint during the early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a prominent neck guard and a high crest, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style with carefully articulated facial features. The goddess's hair falls in soft waves beneath the helmet brim. To the right of the main device, a small statuette of Zeus is depicted standing right, holding a long sceptre or staff in one hand and a thunderbolt in the other, serving as a control symbol. The reverse design is set within a shallow incuse square typical of early classical Greek coinage. The die work demonstrates the high artistic standard associated with Corinthian mint engravers of the early fourth century BC. |
