| Obverse description | Griffin seated to the left in profile, with the right forepaw raised, rendered in the archaic Greek style typical of Abderite coinage. The creature's wings are depicted folded against its body with incised feather detail visible across the upper surface. The field is plain and unadorned, the type serving as the longstanding civic emblem of Abdera. |

| Reverse description | Youthful head of Hermes facing left, wearing the broad-brimmed petasos traveller's hat characteristic of the god. A caduceus is positioned vertically before the face in the left field. A partial Greek magistrate's legend is partially visible around the periphery, consistent with the naming convention attested on Abderite bronzes of this period. |
