| Obverse description | Sphinx seated to the right in profile, depicted in the characteristic archaic style of Chios coinage, with wings folded against its body. A bunch of grapes is positioned before the sphinx in the right field, referencing the island's famed viticulture. The overall fabric is irregular, typical of hammered bronze issues of the Hellenistic period. |
