| Obverse description | Pegasos in flight to left with distinctively curved wings; beneath the horse, a serpent coiled around a tortoise occupies the lower field. The figure of Pegasos is rendered in the vigorous archaic style characteristic of Corinthian-tradition coinage, with careful attention to musculature and wing detail. The incidental device below — the serpent and tortoise — serves as a distinguishing control symbol for this emission of the Ambracian mint. |
