| Reverse description | Contest over the Delphic tripod depicted in dynamic composition: at left, nude Heracles strides forward, head turned right, raising his club to assert possession of the sacred tripod; at right, nude Apollo advances leftward, arms extended as he attempts to wrest the tripod from Heracles. The scene illustrates the mythological dispute between the two deities, a subject particularly appropriate to the Samian civic coinage. The ethnic legend appears in the field. |
