| Reverse description | The poet Homer is depicted seated to the right, rendered as a venerable elderly male figure in draped robes, holding an open scroll in his hands — a clear allusion to Colophon's proud claim as one of the cities of his birth. The figure is set within the field with the encircling Greek legend naming Homer as patron deity of the Colophonians, underscoring the civic pride expressed through this reverse type. A ground line is visible beneath the seated figure. The reverse legend runs around the periphery within a beaded border. |
