| Obverse description | Pegasos, the winged horse of Corinthian mythology, depicted in full profile flying to the left with wings spread and upraised. The figure is rendered in high relief with finely detailed musculature and feathering on the wings, reflecting the archaic artistic style characteristic of early Corinthian coinage. The bridle and curling mane are clearly articulated, and the foreleg is raised in a dynamic cantering posture. Below the figure, the archaic koppa (Ϙ), the initial letter of Corinth (Ϙόρινθος), appears as a mint identifier in the lower left field. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, typical of early hammered Greek silver coinage. |
