| 表面の説明 | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head; the goddess is adorned with a pearl necklace, and her long hair is gathered into a ponytail falling behind the neck. The rendering is characteristic of early Classical Greek coinage in the northern Aegean tradition, with bold, compact facial features and clearly defined helmet crest. A border of dots encircles the design within the coin's irregular flan. |

| 裏面の説明 | A quadripartite incuse square dominates the reverse field, formed by two intersecting raised ridges dividing the depression into four equal recessed compartments, each with a granular surface texture. The incuse square is deeply struck and nearly fills the flan, with the raised dividing bars meeting at the centre at right angles. This reverse type is characteristic of early Greek coinage from the northern Aegean islands and reflects archaic minting technique. No legends or subsidiary devices are present. |

Samothrace occupied an unusual position in the ancient Aegean — the island's fame rested almost entirely on its Mystery cult, the Sanctuary of the Great Gods, which drew initiates from across the Greek world for centuries. Coinage from the island is sparse and poorly documented in the literary record, which makes physical survivors the primary evidence for its mint activity. The diobol denomination itself was workmanlike currency, the kind used for small transactions and ferry fares across busy Aegean sea lanes.
Fifth-century issues from Samothrace are rare in any form. The 460s BC place this squarely in the period when Athenian naval dominance was reshaping island economies throughout the northern Aegean following the Persian Wars.
