Description

A distinctive pendant from the A. Leondarakis collection with a unique design.

The pendant is a copy of a B.C. 500, four drachma, silver coin from the ancient Greek city of Abdera. On the front it features a Griffin and on the reverse a quadripartite square with letters that form the word AB(Δ)HPITΩΝ (Abdēritōn).

The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Griffins are normally known for guarding treasure and well valued priceless possession. (http://www.forumancientcoins.com)
