| Reverse description | Tetrastyle temple with four columns depicted in elevation, enclosing a cult statue of Hera of Samos standing facing, wearing the kalathos (polos crown) and adorned with hanging fillets. The architectural rendering reflects the celebrated Heraion of Samos, one of the most prominent sanctuaries of the ancient Greek world. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field within a beaded border, affirming civic pride in the local religious tradition. |
