| Obverse description | The winged horse Pegasus is depicted in full flight to the left, rendered with crisp musculature and finely detailed feathered wings spread upward. The forelimbs are extended forward in a dynamic galloping pose, conveying vigorous movement across the open field. Beneath the body of Pegasus, prominently placed in the lower field, appears the Corinthian civic symbol koppa (Ϙ), serving as the city's mint identifier. The design is executed in high relief with bold, sculptural modeling characteristic of early fourth-century Corinthian coinage. The irregular flan edges are typical of the hammered technique employed at the Corinthian mint during this period. |

| Reverse description | A helmeted head of Athena is portrayed in right-facing profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on her head, revealing her facial features with refined archaic-to-early Classical stylistic detail. The helmet is adorned with a prominent crest and cheekpieces, rendered with careful engraving typical of Corinthian die-cutters of the early fourth century BC. In the left field, a thymiaterion (incense burner) serves as an additional control symbol or mint mark, identifying a specific die pairing within the Corinthian series. The goddess's neck and hair are visible below the helmet, and the overall portrait displays the elegant simplicity characteristic of the mature Corinthian stater type. The reverse die is set within a shallow incuse area, consistent with hammered coinage of this period. |
