| Reverse description | The philosopher Anaxagoras, native of Klazomenai, depicted seated left upon a globe, his right hand raised in a gesture of discourse or contemplation. The figure is draped and rendered in a dignified, scholarly pose, consistent with honorific Hellenistic coin iconography. The civic legend ΚΛΑΖΟ ΜΕΝΙΩΝ is disposed in two parts flanking the central figure, identifying the issuing city of Klazomenai in Ionia. |
