| Beschrijving keerzijde | A peacock, the sacred bird of Hera, stands facing right with its tail trailing behind it. The bird is rendered in a naturalistic style typical of provincial bronze coinage of the Severan era, its characteristic long neck and rounded body clearly delineated. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Samos, whose principal cult was that of Hera, with whom the peacock was closely associated. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos issued bronze coinage under Roman provincial authority through the conventus system, with Miletus serving as the administrative hub for judicial and civic oversight across the region. The island's mint activity under Severus Alexander was modest — this small module represents the lower end of the denomination range in use during his reign, likely intended for everyday local exchange rather than inter-city commerce.
The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ confirms civic pride in the issuing authority, a consistent feature of Samian bronze even at this minor scale.
