| Obverse description | Pegasus depicted in left-facing gallop, the winged horse rendered with a finely detailed folded wing showing a beaded or feathered texture, the flowing mane articulated with incised parallel striations. The muscular body and forelegs are shown in dynamic motion, with all four legs extended in a flying gallop pose characteristic of early Archaic Greek coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, and the flan shows the irregular edges typical of early fifth-century Macedonian silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | A quadripartite incuse square, divided by two perpendicular raised bars into four equal recessed compartments, each exhibiting rough, irregular surfaces with no figural decoration. This deeply punched incuse punch arrangement is characteristic of early Archaic Greek hammered coinage from the northern Aegean region, reflecting the primitive yet functional technique employed by the mint of Therma during the late sixth and early fifth centuries BC. |
