| Beschrijving voorzijde | Forepart of a griffin advancing to the right, rendered in archaic Greek style with boldly modelled musculature. The creature's beak is open and its ear is prominently raised, with a small ball finial visible at the tip of the upright wing. The design fills the small flan, characteristic of Ionian fractional silver coinage of the fifth century BC. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Teos, the Ionian Greek city on the Aegean coast of Anatolia, was home to the poet Anacreon and, more practically, one of the ancient world's principal sources of kition — a bitumen-like substance traded across the Mediterranean. These fractional silver coins funded a local economy operating on genuinely tiny transactions. At roughly a quarter of an obol, the tetartemorion was among the smallest denominations struck anywhere in the Greek world, and Teos produced them with a consistency that suggests real commercial demand rather than ceremonial issue.
