| Reverse description | The celebrated philosopher Pythagoras of Samos is depicted seated to the left upon a throne or chair, his body turned slightly forward as he extends his right hand toward a celestial globe resting atop a tall column, symbolising his renowned contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and cosmology. In his left hand he holds a long sceptre or staff. The composition reflects the civic pride of Samos in honouring its most famous native son through its coinage. The reverse legend encircles the type, identifying both the subject and the issuing community. |
