| Beschrijving keerzijde | Tyche, the tutelary deity of the city, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, rendered in the classical Greek provincial style. In her right hand she holds a ship's rudder, symbolising fortune and maritime prosperity, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The reverse type reflects the importance of Samos as a naval and commercial centre within the Conventus of Miletus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos had been a free city under Rome since the Republican period, a status jealously guarded and periodically contested. Septimius Severus, who came to power through civil war in 193, made a point of rewarding eastern cities that backed his claim against Pescennius Niger — Samos among them. The island's continued right to strike civic bronze under his reign almost certainly reflects that political calculus rather than administrative routine.
The ϹΑΜΙΩΝ ethnic places this firmly within the island's autonomous civic coinage, administered through the Miletus conventus.
