| Beschrijving keerzijde | The lyric poet Anakreon, the most celebrated son of Teos, depicted seated to the right on a klismos chair, his body draped in a himation, holding and plucking a lyre with both hands. The figure is rendered in a relaxed, contemplative posture consistent with late Classical Ionian workmanship. The Greek legend ΤΗΙΩΝ to the right and ΠPOKΛEIΔHΣ to the left identifies both the city of Teos and the magistrate Prokleides responsible for the issue, the inscriptions disposed vertically in the field flanking the central figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Teos was one of the twelve cities of the Ionian League, best known in antiquity as the birthplace of the poet Anacreon and, more commercially, as a major producer of pitch used in shipbuilding throughout the Aegean. Magistrate-signed coinage from Teos in the early Hellenistic period — of which this Prokleides piece is an example — reflects the city's reassertion of civic identity following decades of disruption under Persian rule and the upheavals of Alexander's campaigns. The magistrate name functions as an accountability marker, not a honorific.
The Zhuyuetang reference places this among a carefully documented group of dies from the period.
