| Reverse description | Frontal cult statue of Samian Hera, the principal deity of Samos, standing in formal hieratic pose between two peacocks — her sacred birds — one on each side. A crescent and star appear in the field to the left and right respectively, adding celestial symbolism to the reverse composition. The encircling legend in Greek identifies the issuing city. The overall design reflects the strong local religious identity expressed on provincial bronzes of the Severan and later periods. |
