Archaeological description
CPAI III/1: Thick square in form with rounded corners; surface much worn. On the obverse which is somewhat hollowed, is a Hippalectryon to right. The reverse is blank. One should also consider Adramyteum since its coins bear frequently Hippalectryon. Its mass corresponds to a five-drachm (drachm of 4. 13 g), but it may be a stateron, too.
