| Beschrijving keerzijde | A heroic male figure, identified tentatively as Ankaios, the mythological king of Samos, strides to the right, his body in dynamic posture as he thrusts a spear toward a wild boar emerging from a rocky cave at lower right. The scene alludes to local Samian myth and is framed by a dotted border visible on portions of the flan. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the upper field. The composition reflects the vigorous narrative style common to eastern provincial bronzes of the Severan and Gordian periods. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos had been producing civic bronze coinage under Roman oversight for generations by Gordian's reign, but the island's issues under this emperor are notable for their variety — the Samian mint produced an unusually wide range of types relative to its size, suggesting active local initiative in design selection rather than simple compliance with provincial templates. The reference VII.1#591.5 places this piece within a well-documented but sparsely surviving series; die studies have shown many Samian bronzes of this period exist in very small numbers of known specimens.
