| Reverse description | Tyche, the city goddess and tutelary deity of Samos, depicted standing left, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) upon her head. She holds a ship's rudder in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolizing the prosperity and maritime importance of the island city. The figure is rendered in the conventional civic iconographic style of Ionian provincial coinage. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is distributed in the field around the deity. |
