| Obverse description | Griffin seated to left in three-quarter view, with open beak, upswept wing rendered with bold incised feather lines, and curled leonine tail. The creature's foreleg is raised, and the body is rendered in high relief with a naturalistic musculature characteristic of Abderite coinage of the early fourth century BC. The design fills the broad oval flan with confident archaic-to-classical transitional styling. |
