| Obverse description | Griffin springing to the left in dynamic pose, depicted with outstretched wings, feline body, and avian head with open beak; a barley grain is rendered beneath the creature in the lower field. The figure is rendered in fine archaic relief characteristic of Abderite coinage of the late 5th century BC. |

| Reverse description | Laureate head of Apollo facing right, depicted in fine incuse square with linear border; the magistrate's name ΠΡΩΤΗΣ (Protes) appears as a legend above the head, with a barley grain symbol positioned behind. The portrait displays the clean, classicising style typical of Abderite silver coinage of this period. |
