Obverse description Pegasus leaping to right in dynamic posture, with wings fully spread and forelegs raised; the winged horse is rendered in fine relief with carefully engraved feather detail on the wings. Beneath the body, the Greek letter Λ (lambda), serving as the initial of the issuing city Leukai. The design occupies a broad, slightly concave field typical of Akarnanian coinage of the period.

Reverse description Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet with a pronounced cheek guard and upturned back flap, rendered in fine archaic-influenced style consistent with fourth-century BC western Greek coinage. The facial features are delicately modeled with a calm, idealized expression. To the left behind the neck, the Greek letter Λ (lambda), the civic initial of Leukai. To the right, a kyathos (ladle with a long handle), serving as an additional civic or magistrate symbol. The reverse composition is characteristic of Corinthian-type staters produced by Akarnanian communities.
