| Obverse description | Pegasos depicted in full flight to the left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed feathered wings raised above the body. The mythical winged horse is shown in a dynamic bridled gallop with forelegs extended, its muscular form executed in the accomplished Corinthian tradition. Beneath the body, in the lower field, appears the AN monogram serving as the civic identifier of the issuing city of Anaktorion. The overall composition fills the flan with confident, naturalistic artistry characteristic of fourth-century BCE Akarnanian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with a prominent crest and cheek guards. The goddess is depicted with fine, wavy hair visible beneath the helmet brow, and her features are rendered in a serene, classicizing style. Behind the neck guard of the helmet, a threshing flail is placed in the field, serving as a secondary control symbol or magistrate's mark. A two-part inscription in Greek characters appears in the field, referencing the local magistrate or official responsible for the coin's issue. |
