His left foot rests upon the prow of a ship (apluster or rostrum), referencing the naval tradition and maritime heritage of the island of Samos. The reverse legend is inscribed in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos issued bronze coinage under Trajan Decius during a period when the emperor was under enormous military pressure — the Goths had crossed the Danube in force, and Decius was personally leading campaigns that would ultimately kill him at the Battle of Abritus in 251, the first Roman emperor to die in battle against a foreign enemy. Civic mints across the eastern provinces continued producing bronze for local circulation regardless, and the Samian issues of this reign are among the less frequently encountered in the conventus groupings.
The ethnic inscription ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is the standard Samian civic legend, placing this firmly within the island's autonomous civic coinage rather than any koinon authority.
