| Reverse description | Prow of a Samaina galley advancing to left, its distinctive rounded hull and projecting ram rendered in profile. In the left field, a crestless Corinthian helmet faces left, serving as a type symbol referencing the Samian military presence at Zancle. The composition fills the flan with confident, if somewhat irregular, engraving typical of the transitional period between Zanclaean and Messenian civic issues. |
