| Obverse description | Griffin couchant to left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed feathered wings swept upward and scaled body, resting upon a linear ground line with a dotted border below. The creature's head is turned alertly with an open beak, its forelegs extended forward in a characteristic Abderite pose. The city ethnic ABΔHPI appears in Greek letters above the griffin in the upper field. The treatment of the griffin's musculature and plumage reflects the accomplished engraving tradition of fourth-century Thracian coinage. |
