| Obverse description | Pegasos in full flight to the right, rendered with fine archaic naturalism; the wings are prominently spread upward, with individual feathers carefully delineated. The mythical winged horse is depicted in a vigorous galloping pose, with forelegs extended forward and hindlegs trailing. The small Greek letter delta (Δ) appears in the lower field beneath the body of Pegasos, serving as a mint control mark for Dyrrachion. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right in high relief, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, with a dolphin arching above the helmet bowl. The goddess's hair falls in richly detailed curls along her neck and cheek. To the left of the portrait, a club is depicted vertically, with the Greek letter delta (Δ) positioned below it, both serving as civic control symbols. The portrait exhibits the refined classical style characteristic of Illyrian coinage of the late fifth to early fourth century BC. |
