| Beschrijving voorzijde | A griffin seated in profile to the left occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief characteristic of early 4th-century Ionian coinage. The creature is depicted with folded wings raised prominently behind its back, a leonine body in a crouching pose, and a sharply defined aquiline beak. The griffin, the civic emblem of Teos, is executed in a compact, archaic-to-early-classical style with expressive musculature. The plain field surrounding the type is unadorned, with no legend or border present. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with hand-struck gold fractional coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Teos, the Ionian coastal city best known as the birthplace of the lyric poet Anacreon, maintained a surprisingly active mint for a polis of its size. This fractional gold issue falls within a period when the city was navigating the competing pressures of Persian satrapal authority and Aegean trade networks — small-denomination gold fractions like this served commerce at a level where silver coinage was either too bulky or insufficiently trusted by trading partners.
The twelfthing of a stater is an unusually fine division, suggesting a monetized local economy precise enough to demand it.
