| Obverse description | Pegasos in full flight to the left, rendered in high relief with outstretched wings and forelegs extended forward in dynamic motion. The figure displays the bold, archaic artistic style characteristic of early Lycian coinage, with pronounced musculature and feather detail on the wing. The flan is irregularly oval, typical of the hand-hammered silver coinage of the Lycian dynastic period. No legend or inscription is present in the field. |

| Reverse description | Facing lion's scalp depicted en face within a square incuse punch, the characteristic reverse type of early Lycian dynastic staters. The scalp is rendered with bold, stylized features including a broad muzzle, prominent brow ridges, and radiating mane locks framing the face. The incuse square is deeply impressed with a granular field, contrasting with the raised relief of the lion's head at its center. The treatment is consistent with the archaic Lycian die-cutting tradition of the late sixth to early fifth century BCE. |
