Obverse lettering ΑΒΔΗ ΡΙΤΕΩΝ
Reverse description Laureate head of Apollo facing left, depicted within a linear square border (incuse square), rendered in Classical Greek style with fine hair detail. A shell symbol appears above the head within the square as a control mark. The magistrate's name ΙΠΠΩΝΑΚΤΟΣ is inscribed in Greek letters around the linear square in the field, introduced by the formula ΕΠΙ, identifying the eponymous magistrate responsible for the issue. This type is characteristic of the late fourth-century coinage of Abdera, where magistrates' names appear regularly as part of the reverse design.
