| Reverse description | The cult statue of Samian Hera depicted standing to the right, clad in long robes and wearing the kalathos (cylindrical headdress) distinctive of her Samian iconography. The goddess holds a patera in each outstretched hand, with decorative fillets hanging from her arms, reflecting the cultic regalia associated with the famous Heraion sanctuary of Samos. The reverse legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ, denoting the people of Samos, encircles the field; letterforms may show local workshop variants including a curved crossbar on Α and an И-shaped Ν. The composition closely follows the established type of the Samian Hera xoanon as represented on civic coinage of the island. |
