| Reverse description | Facing lion's head rendered frontally in high relief, with a wide mane radiating dramatically around the face and powerful, naturalistic facial features including an open mouth and prominent nose. Below the lion's head, the abbreviated ethnic inscription ΣΑ appears in the lower field, identifying the issuing city of Samos. The design is bold and stylistically consistent with Ionian Greek artistic conventions of the period. |
