| Obverse description | Pegasus in full flight to right, rendered with finely engraved feathered wings spread upward and forelegs extended in a bridled galloping pose. The mythological winged horse is depicted with careful attention to musculature and anatomical detail characteristic of Corinthian die-cutting. Below the body, the archaic Corinthian control letter koppa (Ϙ) appears in the field, serving as a mint or series identifier. The overall composition fills the broad, slightly irregular flan with confident, high-relief workmanship. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, with the cheekpieces raised to reveal her facial features rendered in fine archaic style. The goddess's hair falls in neat waves beneath the helmet brim, and her portrait exhibits the serene, idealized aesthetic typical of early Classical Corinthian coinage. In the left field, a thymiaterion (incense burner) serves as an additional control symbol. The design is set within a recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek hammered coinage technique. |
