| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a portrait effigy of the celebrated Greek poet Yiannis Ritsos in left-facing profile, rendered in a detailed artistic style befitting a commemorative issue. The inscription 2009 ΕΤΟΣ ΓΙΑΝΝΗ ΡΙΤΣΟ arcs around the design, identifying the subject and designating 2009 as the Year of Yiannis Ritsos. The composition commemorates the centenary of the poet's birth, with the portrait occupying the central field. The scalloped border of ten indentations frames the entire reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Yannis Ritsos died in 1990, and this coin was issued on the centenary of his birth. He remains one of the most translated Greek poets of the twentieth century, though his decades-long membership in the Communist Party of Greece meant he spent years in detention camps — including Makronisos — during the postwar anti-communist purges. The Greek state's decision to honor him on a commemorative coin represents a long institutional reckoning with how his political history had been handled.
