| Obverse description | Sphinx seated left in three-quarter view upon a ground line, with wings furled and serpentine tail curling upward behind; a bunch of grapes appears in the field before the creature. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised dots. The style is characteristic of late Hellenistic Chian coinage, rendered with fine naturalistic detail. |
