| Obverse description | Pegasos with curving, finely detailed wings flies to the left in full gallop, forelegs raised and tail extended. A globular symbol (circular device) appears above in the field, serving as a control mark. The Greek letter Λ (lambda) is placed below the body of Pegasos, functioning as a civic magistrate or mint control mark. The figure is rendered in high relief with careful attention to musculature, characteristic of Corinthian-tradition coinage. The flan shows the typical irregular edge of a hand-struck ancient Greek silver issue. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the skull, with a visible crest. The features are rendered in the classical style with a strong profile, almond-shaped eye, and detailed helmet cheek-guards. Before the face, a kerykeion (caduceus) is depicted, and a Boeotian shield appears in the field. The ethnic inscription ΛEY, an abbreviation of ΛΕΥΚΑΔΙΩΝ (Leukadion), is placed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Leukas. This reverse type closely follows the standard Corinthian stater series adapted for Akarnanian coinage. |
