| Obverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse, depicted in flight to the left, rendered in archaic relief style characteristic of Corinthian coinage of the fifth century BC. The figure displays the distinctive Corinthian convention of a bridled Pegasus with wings outstretched. The koppa (Ϙ), the archaic Greek letter serving as the city ethnic abbreviation for Corinth, appears in the field below the horse. The flan is irregular and compact, typical of small-denomination hammered silver issues of the period. |

| Reverse description | Facing gorgoneion (head of the Gorgon Medusa) depicted full face at centre, rendered with characteristic archaic features including a wide grimacing mouth, protruding tongue, and a beaded or serpentine headdress. The gorgoneion fills the incuse square field, a device commonly employed on Corinthian fractional silver coinage of this period. The letters H, T, I, and P appear in the four corners of the incuse field, serving as control marks or denominational indicators. The treatment of the face exhibits the transition from the archaic to early classical style. |
