| Obverse description | A griffin in springing pose to the left, depicted in high relief with pronounced musculature and outstretched wings rendered with fine parallel striations. The creature's leonine hindquarters are tightly coiled, forelegs extended in a dynamic leaping attitude. The design fills the flan with characteristic Abderite artistic confidence, the griffin serving as the city's emblematic type throughout its coinage. No legend appears on the obverse field. |
