| Reverse description | A female deity, tentatively identified as Artemis, stands facing left in full figure, rendered in a long chiton. She extends her right hand to offer a wreath and holds a tall palm branch in her left hand, attributes consistent with a victorious or divine personification associated with the sanctuary traditions of Samos. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is partially visible in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The surface exhibits heavy patination and encrustation consistent with prolonged burial. |
