| Obverse description | Griffin springing to the left in high relief, depicted in the characteristic Abderite style with powerful leonine hindquarters, eagle's forelegs raised, and large, finely engraved swept wings extended upward. The mythical creature's beak is open and the curling serpentine tail is visible at the right. The design occupies the full field of the flan, rendered with considerable sculptural depth and artistic sophistication typical of late fifth-century Thracian coinage. |
