| Obverse description | Griffin springing to the right in dynamic relief, depicted with outstretched wings, leonine hindquarters, and aquiline forequarters with forepaws raised. The creature's crest and feathering are rendered with fine engraved detail characteristic of fourth-century Ionian coinage. The type served as the civic badge of Teos and is executed in a vigorous, naturalistic style. The field is plain, and the flan is slightly irregular as typical of hammered coinage of this period. |
