| Obverse description | Griffin springing to the left in high relief, depicted with powerful leonine haunches, outstretched eagle wings rendered with finely engraved feather detail, and a beaked feline head with an alert, forward-facing expression. The creature is shown in dynamic mid-leap, with forelegs raised and claws extended, conveying vigorous motion characteristic of the finest Abderite coinage. The city ethnic ΑΒΔ appears in the right field beneath the wing. A vine tendril or branch appears in the lower field, a secondary emblematic element common to this series. |
