| Obverse description | A winged sphinx seated to the right occupies the central field, rendered in the archaic Chian tradition that served as the city's principal civic emblem. The creature displays a human head wearing a polos or helmet, with prominent wings swept upward behind the body, and the leonine haunches at rest. The ethnic legend ΧΙΩΝ is disposed in the field to either side of the sphinx. The entire design is enclosed within a continuous dotted border. |
