| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, its four columns supporting a rounded pediment characteristic of the Heraion at Samos. Within the intercolumniation stands the archaic cult statue of Samian Hera, rendered frontally. The ethnic legend of the Samians is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. The overall composition reflects the civic pride of Samos and the religious centrality of the Heraion to its identity. |
