| Obverse description | Pegasus in full flight to the right, depicted with wings outstretched and legs extended in a galloping pose, rendered in bold high relief characteristic of colonial Corinthian bronzes. The Latin legend PRF ITER COR is distributed around the figure in the field, referencing the duoviri quinquennales responsible for the issue. The flan is irregular, typical of hammered provincial coinage of the Augustan period. |

| Reverse description | Five-line Latin inscription enclosed within a laurel wreath, naming the two magistrates responsible for the coinage: P. Aebut(ius) T(iti) f(ilius) and C. Heio Pamphilo. The wreath, composed of carefully rendered leaves tied at the base, frames the inscription symmetrically in the tradition of Corinthian colonial bronzes of the early Augustan era. The lettering is deeply cut and bold, consistent with the epigraphic style of the Roman colony of Corinth. |
