| Obverse description | Pegasos in full flight to the right, depicted in the Corinthian tradition with large, finely rendered spread wings and all four legs extended in a galloping posture. The winged horse is rendered in high relief with strong musculature, the head turned slightly upward. A small symbol or ornament appears above the horse's back near the withers. The flat lower field is largely blank, consistent with the standard Corinthian stater type adopted by Dyrrachion. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical transitional style. A club appears to the left of the head in the field, serving as a civic symbol of Dyrrachion. A dolphin is placed to the lower right of the neck and below it, referencing the city's coastal maritime character. The inscription ΔΥΡΑ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The design closely follows Corinthian iconographic conventions while incorporating distinctive local control marks. |
