| Obverse description | Griffin springing to left, depicted in the characteristic Abderite style with outstretched wings rendered in fine parallel lines, powerful leonine haunches, and a beaked avian head with a decorative crest. The creature is shown launching forward from a grain ear, a distinctive compositional element associated with the city's coinage. The abbreviation ΑΒΔ appears in the right field, identifying the issuing city. The flan exhibits a lightly granular surface typical of early fourth-century Thracian silver coinage. |
