| Reverse description | The pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus depicted standing to the left in full figure, clad in a himation. He holds a club or staff in his lowered left hand while his right arm is raised, possibly in a gesture of speech or contemplation, evoking his philosophical stature as a celebrated native son of Ephesus. The encircling Greek legend in the field names both the issuing city and the depicted philosopher, reflecting the Ephesian civic pride in their famous intellectual heritage. |
