| Obverse description | Pegasos in flight to the left, depicted with outstretched wings and forelegs raised, rendered in fine archaic relief typical of Corinthian-tradition coinage. The winged horse is shown with careful anatomical detail in the musculature of the body and the feathering of the wings. The city-initial letter A (for Ambracia) appears in the lower field beneath the body of Pegasos, serving as the civic identifier of the issuing mint. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a crest, the facial features rendered in the severe to early classical style characteristic of Ambracian coinage. Behind the goddess, an eagle is depicted with wings spread, clutching a serpent in its beak, serving as an additional civic emblem associated with Ambracia. The field is plain, and the design is contained within an incuse square typical of hammered Greek silver coinage of this period. |
