| 背面描述 | A palm tree occupies the centre of the field, flanked to the left by an eagle standing in right profile. The magistrate's name ΣAMAΓOPAΣ and an associated monogram appear to the right of the central devices, while the ethnic IEPAΠYTNΩN is inscribed below, identifying the issuing city of Hierapytna. The composition follows a well-established Cretan reverse type combining civic symbols — the eagle and palm — with eponymous magistrate legends, consistent with the Hellenistic administrative coinage of eastern Crete. |

Hierapytna, on the southeastern coast of Crete, was among the most aggressive city-states on the island during the Hellenistic period — its expansionist conflicts with neighboring Itanos and Praisos defined much of its political life between the third and first centuries BC. The "Samagoras" designation identifies a magistrate's name appearing in the coin's inscription, a practice used at Hierapytna to attribute issues to specific officials, though the precise tenure of Samagoras within that long production window cannot be fixed with certainty.
The "var." citations across multiple references suggest this specific die pairing or magistrate spelling deviates slightly from the primary catalogued specimens.
