| Beschrijving voorzijde | Standing figure of Ankaios, the mythological founder-king of Samos, depicted nude save for a chlamys draped over his shoulders, facing left. In his extended right hand he holds a patera, while his left arm rests upon a tall sceptre. The legend ΑΝΚΑΙΟϹ appears in the field, identifying the heroic figure. The style is characteristic of provincial bronze coinage of the early second century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos had been a free city under Roman administration since Augustus confirmed its privileged status, a grant the island fiercely protected through diplomatic lobbying well into the imperial period. Local bronze issues like this one circulated within the island's own economy rather than the broader provincial network, which explains why surviving specimens tend to show heavy wear from intensive local use on limited volume.
