| Obverse description | Pegasos in flight to the left, depicted with fully spread wings and foreleg raised, rendered in fine archaic relief with carefully engraved feather detail. The winged horse is shown in a dynamic bounding pose, with the tail curved upward. The letter Alpha (Α), the initial of Ambrakia, appears in the lower field beneath the horse, serving as a civic identifier. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features and flowing hair visible beneath the helmet rim. A small Gorgoneion or decorative element appears on the neck guard of the helmet. The portrait exhibits the characteristic style of Ambrakian coinage, combining local artistic convention with the broader Corinthian typological tradition. |
