| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two nude children depicted in a genre scene, crouching and playing with astragali (knucklebones) on either side of the composition. In the background between them stands the archaic cult statue of Samian Hera, flanked by a crescent and a star, emblematic of the island's principal sanctuary. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, attributing the issue to the civic authority of Samos. The overall composition reflects the local religious and cultural pride of the Samian mint. |

Samos issued coins under Roman provincial authority as part of the Miletus conventus — one of the judicial districts through which Rome administered western Asia Minor. The island's civic coinage under Septimius Severus sits within a period when provincial mints were particularly active, partly because Severus rewarded eastern cities that had backed his claim against Pescennius Niger in 193–194 AD. Whether Samos declared early for Severus is unrecorded, but the volume of Severan-era civic issues across the Aegean suggests deliberate cultivation of loyalty through minting rights.
