| Obverse description | Griffin seated left on a ground line, depicted with spread wings, an eagle's head, and a feline body with a curling tail; the creature is rendered in high relief with fine detailing to the feathers and musculature. The ethnic legend ABΔH appears in the upper field, with PITEΩ[N] distributed in the lower field, forming the full civic inscription of the Abderites. The composition reflects the characteristic style of late Classical to early Hellenistic Thracian coinage. |
