| Obverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology and civic emblem of Corinth, depicted in full flight to the left with wings fully extended and forelegs raised. The figure is rendered in fine archaic-to-classical style with carefully engraved feather detail on the wing. Beneath the body of Pegasus appears the koppa (Ϙ), the archaic Greek letter serving as the mint mark of Corinth. The composition is set within a broad, slightly irregular flan typical of hammered Corinthian silver coinage of the early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing left, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head to reveal her finely rendered facial features, with loose curling hair flowing beneath the helmet bowl. The portrait is executed in confident classical style with well-modelled cheek and chin. To the right of the neck, a small decorative symbol — identifiable as a floral or leaf motif — serves as an additional control mark. The field is plain and unlettered, the broad flan lending an imposing presence to the goddess's effigy. |
