| Reverse description | A warrior, identified as a local civic or heroic figure, stands facing right with head turned left, clad in a short chiton leaving the right shoulder and chest bare. He plants his right foot upon a ship's prow oriented to the right, raises his right arm in a commanding gesture, and bears a round shield on his left arm, evoking a maritime martial iconography appropriate to the island city of Samos. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
