| Obverse description | Griffin seated to left in high relief, with eagle's head, outstretched wings, and leonine body; the beast rests upon a ground line with its forepaws extended forward and tail curled upward. The Greek legend ΑΒΔΗ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Abdera. The design is rendered in the robust, naturalistic style characteristic of Thracian coinage of the late fifth century BC, with fine feather detail visible on the wings. |
