| Obverse description | Facing left, the bare head of a female Silenus rendered in fine high relief, her luxuriant wavy hair elaborately dressed with a wreath of ivy or vine leaves and bound with a fillet, loose curling locks falling across the neck and shoulder. The facial features are depicted with exceptional artistry characteristic of the fourth-century Greek die-cutting tradition, with a prominent nose, almond-shaped eye, and slightly parted lips. A beaded necklace is visible at the base of the neck. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription. |

| Reverse description | The forepart of Pegasus displayed in dynamic three-quarter right-facing posture, the winged horse shown rearing with both forelegs raised and bent, the elaborately feathered wing spread prominently to the left in bold relief. The mane is rendered with crisp, stylised strokes, and the musculature of the chest and shoulder is finely articulated. The curling tail is visible to the lower left. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription, characteristic of the Lampsakene electrum and gold stater series. |
