| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing lion's scalp rendered in archaic style, with stylized mane depicted by radiating incised lines above the broad forehead. The feline face is shown full frontal with prominent round eyes, a flat nose, and whisker dots flanking the muzzle on either side. The fur markings are rendered with careful engraved detailing, conveying a bold, heraldic quality characteristic of early Samian coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos in this period was navigating the immediate aftermath of its submission to Persia following the Ionian Revolt's failure at Lade in 494 BC, where the Samian fleet famously broke formation — an act that may have been treachery or pragmatic survival, depending on which ancient source you trust. Coinage continued under Persian suzerainty, making the precise dating of these fractional issues genuinely contested among specialists.
At 0.33g, these were the smallest practical unit in the Samian series, likely used for port transactions in one of the Aegean's busiest harbors.
