| Obverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, rendered with vigorous archaic style; the winged horse is depicted with outstretched wings, forelegs extended in a galloping posture, and hind legs tucked beneath the body. The figure occupies the full flan, with the wings prominently spread above the dorsal line. A small letter A (koppa-style initial) appears beneath the belly of Pegasus, serving as the civic identifier of Ambracia. The execution is bold and in high relief, characteristic of Corinthian-tradition coinage. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head to reveal the face, with a prominent curved cheek guard. The hair is rendered in flowing locks falling behind the neck, and the facial features are depicted with alert, finely modelled detail typical of the late fifth-century Corinthian engraving tradition. The design is set within a shallow incuse square, standard for Corinthian-type staters, with the field otherwise plain. No visible legend on this die. |
