| Obverse description | Griffin sejant left, depicted in high relief with prominent upswept wings, aquiline beak open, and curling leonine body with raised forepaw. The creature is rendered in the vigorous archaic style characteristic of Abderite coinage, with careful attention to feather detail across the wing surface. The figure occupies the full flan against a plain field with no legend or border. |
