| Obverse description | Pegasos depicted alighting to the left, with wings raised and fanned prominently above the body, the trailing rein rendered beneath the neck. The mythical winged horse is shown in a dynamic crouching posture with forelegs extended downward as if landing, rendered in high relief with careful attention to musculature and feather detail. The archaic Corinthian magistrate's mark koppa (Ϙ) appears in the lower field beneath the figure, serving as a civic control symbol. The flan is characteristically broad and slightly irregular, typical of Corinthian hammered coinage of the early fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, depicted in fine Classical style with the characteristic Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, its cheekpieces flanking the goddess's serene facial features. The helmet is furnished with a prominent neck guard extending behind the head, and the bowl of the helmet is rendered with smooth, polished relief. Loose curling locks of hair escape from beneath the helmet along the nape of the neck and in front of the ear, adding naturalistic detail consistent with Corinthian die-cutting conventions of the early fourth century BC. The portrait fills the flan with commanding presence, the field left plain without inscription, as is standard for Corinthian staters of this period. |
