| Obverse description | Griffin springing to the left in high relief, depicted with powerful leonine haunches, outstretched wings, and an open beak. The creature is shown in a dynamic, lunging posture typical of Abderite coinage. The ethnic abbreviation ΑΒΔ appears in the right field behind the griffin. The design is executed in bold archaic style with fine surface detail on the wing feathers and musculature. |
