| Obverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, rendered with vigorous relief and finely detailed feathering on the outstretched wings; the foreleg is raised and the tail curves gracefully upward. Below the body, a small Corinthian helmet symbol appears in the lower field as a control mark. The style is characteristic of the Corinthian coinage tradition adopted by Dyrrachium, with the winged horse occupying nearly the entire flan. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head and adorned with a crest; locks of hair escape beneath the helmet cheek-guard in finely engraved curls. Behind the head, to the left, a tall thyrsus or scepter-like object is depicted vertically in the field. The portrait is executed in high relief with careful attention to facial modelling, in keeping with the refined die-cutting of Dyrrachium's civic coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |
