| Obverse description | Griffin seated to left in the Archaic style, with the right forepaw raised and the tail curling upward; the creature's beak is open and its wings are rendered with bold, flowing lines. A six-petalled rosette occupies the left field. The magistrate's abbreviated inscription ΖΑ appears in the lower left field, identifying the issuing authority. The flan is broad and slightly irregular, characteristic of early Thracian coinage of the late Archaic period. |
