| Obverse description | Pegasos striding left in high relief, rendered in an archaic Ionian style characteristic of the earliest Greek coinage. The winged horse is depicted with naturalistic musculature, its head lowered and forelegs extended in a walking posture, with the broad, feathered wings folded along the body. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the design occupying the full field. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Reverse description | Two adjacent incuse squares of unequal size punched deeply into the plain reverse, exhibiting the characteristic mill-grain or granular texture typical of early Lydian and Ionian electrum coinage produced by the punch technique. The left square is somewhat smaller and more defined, while the right square is larger and displays an irregular, striated surface. No legend or device is present. This primitive reverse type reflects the earliest stage of Greek coin manufacture. |
