| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse, rendered in dynamic flight to the left, with wings fully spread and extended upward in high relief. The mythological creature is depicted with forelegs raised and hindquarters in a galloping posture, conveying vigorous motion. The archaic Greek letter alpha (A), serving as the initial of Ambrakia, appears prominently in the lower field beneath the body of Pegasos. The die-work is bold and characteristic of Ambrakian coinage of the mid-fourth century BC, with the flan exhibiting the typical irregular, broad fabric of the period. |
