| Obverse description | Griffin springing to the left in high relief, depicted with a powerful leonine body, prominent folded wings with finely engraved feather detail, and an eagle-headed profile with open beak. The creature's forepaws are raised in a dynamic leaping posture, with the tail curling upward behind the haunches. A branch or vegetal element appears beneath the foreparts, characteristic of Abderite coinage of this period. The rendering is accomplished in the fluid, naturalistic style of late 5th-century BC Thracian Greek coinage. |
