| Obverse description | Pegasos depicted in full flight to the right, rendered with bold high relief characteristic of Ambrakian coinage; the winged horse is shown with wings raised and spread, forelimbs extended in a galloping posture, the musculature of the body finely articulated. The tail curls downward behind the haunches. The Greek letter alpha (A) appears in the lower field beneath the body of Pegasos, serving as the civic identifier for Ambrakia. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the cheekpieces raised to reveal the goddess's facial features modelled in fine relief. A single pendant earring is visible at the ear. In the field behind the neck-guard of the helmet, the Greek letter alpha (A) is incuse, reaffirming the civic attribution to Ambrakia. The portrait exhibits the refined engraving style associated with the mid-fourth century BC Ambrakian mint. |
