Abdera (thrace), AR Tetradrachm, ca 450 B.C.588 viewsObv:- Griffin seated left with right forepaw raised
Rev:- City's name around quadripartitie square; all within an incuse square.

A very free adaptation of May's Group III. The obverse should have a symbol to the left of the Griffin though the serious mistake is the ethnic on the reverse. Abdera never displayed the city name in the way it was done at Akanthos from where this reverse was clearly copied. On coins from Abdera we find magistrates' names instead.

Part of a group of counterfeits that appeared in the catalog of an American specialist in US coins..The coins were all struck from modern dies.
