| Reverse description | A finely detailed portrait of composer Mikis Theodorakis is depicted in right-facing profile, shown from the waist up with both arms raised in the posture of a conductor mid-performance. Concentric arcs of musical notation — staffs bearing notes — radiate outward behind him, evoking the flow of music and his enduring artistic legacy. The year 2025 and a small mint mark appear in the upper central field. The circular legend 100 ΧΡΟΝΙΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΗ ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΜΙΚΗ ΘΕΟΔΩΡΑΚΗ runs along the outer border, with musical notes and symbols interspersed throughout the legend. The engraver's initials ΣTAM appear below the portrait. |

| Additional information |
Theodorakis died in September 2021, and the Greek state's decision to commemorate him in gold within four years of his death is unusually swift for a collector coinage program — reflecting both the political consensus around his cultural standing and the long-running effort to position Greek numismatic issues around figures of international name recognition. His music was banned under the military junta from 1967 to 1974, during which he was imprisoned, then exiled, with his works criminalized even in performance.
