| Reverse description | The mythological hero Ankaios (possibly), depicted striding vigorously to the right, thrusting a spear downward toward a wild boar emerging from a rocky cave or den at the lower right of the field. The figure is shown in dynamic action pose with outstretched arms, evoking the legendary Calydonian boar hunt tradition associated with Samos. The reverse type alludes to local Samian mythology, connecting the city's founding hero to the hunt. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is distributed in the field, and the composition is enclosed within a dotted border. |
