| Reverse description | A seafaring hero — likely Ancaeus, the mythological founder of Samos — advancing to the right atop a ship's prow, his body turned back to the left as he gestures with an outstretched arm to beckon his companions to follow. The figure is depicted in dynamic movement, combining forward motion with a backward glance in a style characteristic of provincial Greek civic iconography. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city of Samos. |
