| Reverse description | A peacock stands in profile to the right, its body rendered with naturalistic detail, the tail feathers trailing behind. The bird, sacred to Hera — the principal deity venerated on Samos — serves as the emblematic civic type for the island's coinage. The Greek ethnic legend of the Samian community is distributed in the field around the device. |
