| Obverse description | Pegasos in bold relief flying to the right, with large, finely detailed outstretched wings and forelegs raised in a dynamic galloping posture. The body of the winged horse is rendered with careful attention to musculature and feather articulation, characteristic of Corinthian-tradition die engraving. The field is plain and unlettered, with the figure occupying the full flan in the high-relief hammered style typical of Akarnanian silver coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. |

| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a Corinthian helmet adorned with a neck guard, rendered in fine relief with carefully detailed facial features in the classical style. The ethnic inscription ΛE-YK-AΔ-I is distributed around the field, identifying the issuing city of Leukas. A small decorative fishing hook and a secondary small lambda (Λ) appear behind the neck of the goddess, serving as control marks distinctive to this emission. The overall design reflects the high-quality die engraving associated with Akarnanian civic coinage of the mid-to-late fourth century BC. |
