| Obverse description | Griffin seated left in high relief, rendered with bold musculature and finely detailed feathered wings folded along its body; a cicada appears in the left field. The partial ethnic legend ΑΒΔΗ is inscribed in Greek characters to the upper right, partially visible along the dotted border. The composition is characteristic of the accomplished die-engraving tradition of Abdera, combining naturalistic animal imagery with civic symbolism. |
