| Reverse description | A griffin seated to the left, with wings raised and spread, and one forepaw resting on a palm branch or thyrsus set upright before it. The griffin is depicted with detailed feathering on the wings and body, rendered in a bold, slightly stylised Hellenistic manner. The Greek legend XEP appears in the upper field, and HPAKΛEIOY is inscribed along the lower exergual line, referencing the magistrate Herakleios. The composition is compact within the irregular flan, with the palm branch serving as a central vertical dividing element. |
