| Obverse description | Griffin seated to right in archaic style, with both forepaws raised off the ground and wings rendered with bold striated feathers curving upward behind the body. The creature's leonine haunches and taloned feet are rendered in low relief against a rough, granular field. The compact flan and irregular planchet are characteristic of early fifth-century Aeolian coinage. |
