| Obverse description | Sphinx seated to the left in profile, depicted in the Archaic Lycian style, with a prominently striated curved wing arching over the body. The creature wears a polos or stepped headdress with long, flowing hair rendered in parallel incised lines falling to the shoulder. The right forepaw is raised, and the body rests on the haunches with the tail curling behind. The flan is irregular and the relief is bold, consistent with early fifth-century BC Lycian coinage. |
