| Obverse description | Forepart of Pegasus advancing to the right, depicted in an archaic artistic style with outstretched wings prominently displayed. The winged horse is rendered in high relief against a plain field, with fine detail visible in the feathering of the wings and the musculature of the equine foreparts. The design is characteristic of early fifth-century BC Macedonian coinage from the region of Therma. |

| Reverse description | Rough, unworked incuse square occupying the full reverse field, characteristic of early archaic Greek coinage technique in which the reverse die was formed by a simple punch. The incuse is irregular and deeply impressed, with no design or inscription, consistent with the primitive monetary production methods employed at Therma during the early fifth century BC. |
