| Reverse description | Recumbent lion or feline figure depicted facing, set within a square incuse punch with a dotted border, characteristic of archaic Greek hammered coinage. The incuse square, a hallmark of early Greek minting technique, frames the device centrally. The surrounding field is plain and slightly rough from the hammering process. The reverse type mirrors the civic emblem tradition of Samos during the Polycratean era, with the incuse serving both as a technical necessity and a secondary decorative element. |
