背面描述	Tyche, the civic goddess of fortune, stands facing left in full figure, clad in a long chiton and himation, wearing a kalathos (modius) upon her head as an emblem of civic authority. In her right hand she holds a long rudder resting on the ground, symbolising guidance and good fortune, while her left arm cradles a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the left field, identifying the issuing city of Samos.

附加信息	Samos struck bronze coinage under the Conventus of Miletus throughout the Antonine period, but issues attributable specifically to the early years of Commodus's sole reign — following Marcus Aurelius's death in March 180 — are considerably scarcer than those of his father. The island's mint activity appears to have been episodic rather than continuous, tied to local festival cycles and the periodic need to supply small-denomination bronze for regional commerce rather than any imperial directive. The ethnic spelling ϹΑΜΙΩΝ reflects the Ionic Greek tradition maintained on Samian civic coinage well into the third century.
