This image shows both sides of an ancient silver coin, likely from the classical period.

• Left side: The obverse of the coin features an intricate depiction of a winged griffin—the mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of an eagle. The griffin is shown in a dynamic posture with finely detailed feathers and musculature, suggesting motion and vitality.

• Right side: The reverse displays a rectangular incuse design, possibly used as a crude stamp or a mark of authenticity. Within the incuse, there appears to be a rough impression of an image that might also be linked to the coin's origin or symbolism.

The image shows an ancient coin, specifically a silver stater, from Lydia, a region in what is now modern-day Turkey. The coin features two different designs on its obverse and reverse sides.

On the obverse side of the coin (left side of the image), there is an impressively detailed depiction of a lion and a bull in combat, which was a common motif on Lydian and early Persian coinage. The lion is shown with its mouth open and its front paw raised, attacking the bull that is depicted in a dynamic posture, trying to fend off the lion.

On the reverse side of the coin (right side of the image), there is a simple incuse square punch, which is indicative of early coinage techniques. The design within the incuse punch is much more abstract, likely serving a functional purpose in the minting process rather than having significant artistic merit.

The coin is shown against a black background with a scale on the right side in centimeters. The scale suggests that the coin is small, approximately one or two centimeters in diameter, typical for coins of that era. The craftsmanship indicates a high level of skill typical of Lydia during the time when coins were first introduced as currency in the region.
