| Obverse description | A griffin seated in profile to the right, rendered in high relief with meticulous archaic detail. The creature displays a leonine body with prominent granulated feathering across the breast and folded wings with incised parallel striations along the lower edge. The head is turned slightly upward, featuring a curved eagle's beak, a pointed ear, and a scrolled crest atop the skull. The design fills the flan in the characteristic bold archaic style of Phokaian electrum coinage, with no inscription or legend in the field. |
