| Obverse description | Standing nude figure of the lyric poet Anakreon, depicted as bald and bearded, facing front with head turned to the left. The figure holds a chlamys in one hand and a lyre in the other, rendered in the provincial Greek artistic tradition. The legend ΑΝΑΚΡΕωΝ ΤΗΙωΝ encircles the design in the field, identifying both the poet and the city of Teos, his legendary birthplace. The composition reflects Teos's civic pride in its most celebrated literary son. |
