| Obverse description | Pegasus depicted in dynamic flight to the left, wings fully spread and elaborately detailed with feathered rendering in high relief. The winged horse is shown with forelegs raised and hind legs extended, conveying a sense of powerful motion. Below the body of Pegasus, in the lower field, appears the Corinthian magistrate's control mark koppa (Ϙ). The flan is broad and slightly irregular, consistent with the hammered coinage of Corinthian production during the fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head and adorned with a decorated crest. The neck truncation is flanked by the Greek letters Alpha (Α) to the left and Lambda (Λ) to the right, serving as magistrate or die-cutter control marks. To the right of the neck truncation appears a Silenos mask as an additional control symbol. The entire design is contained within a concave incuse circle, a hallmark of Corinthian stater reverse types. |
