| Beschrijving voorzijde | Griffin crouching to left in three-quarter view, rendered with fine detail including spread wings with individually engraved feathers, curling leonine body, and raised eagle-like head. The creature is depicted with forepaws extended and hindquarters tucked, conveying dynamism and mythological power characteristic of Abderite coinage. The ethnic legend ΑΒΔΗ is inscribed in the upper field, with ΡΙΤΕΩΝ continuing along the lower exergual border, together reading ΑΒΔΗΡΙΤΕΩΝ (of the Abderites). The style is consistent with the accomplished die-cutting of the late Classical period in Thrace. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Pithes is known from coin legends alone — no literary source names him as a ruler of Abdera, making this stater among the few pieces of evidence that he held civic or magistrate authority during the city's late Classical period. Abdera by this point had passed through Athenian and then Macedonian influence, and its autonomous silver coinage was operating on borrowed time. Philip II had already reshaped Thrace politically, and the city's independent issues would effectively cease as Macedonian administrative control tightened through the early Diadoch period.
