| Obverse description | Griffin leaping left in high relief, depicted with outstretched wings and leonine hindquarters, the body rendered with fine archaic detail. In the field to the right, a pellet and a shell or seed motif are visible. The legend ΙΚΕΣ appears in the lower field in archaic Greek characters, identifying the issuing magistrate. The design is contained within a beaded border. The style is characteristic of the early Abderite coinage, noted for its vigorous and naturalistic treatment of the griffin type. |
