| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two adjacent incuse punches occupy the reverse, comprising one rectangular and one square depression, both exhibiting irregular, roughly textured surfaces resulting from the hammering of a divided punch. This bifurcated incuse arrangement is a diagnostic feature of early Samian electrum coinage and reflects the mill-sail or divided punch technique employed by Archaic Greek moneyers. The incuses are deeply struck and uneven, with no inscriptions or decorative elements present in the recessed fields. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos was among the earliest Greek states to adopt coinage, and its electrum issues precede the widespread transition to pure silver that would define Aegean monetary practice by the mid-sixth century. The natural electrum alloy used here — likely sourced through Lydian trade rather than local deposits — varies in gold content piece to piece, which means two hemistaters of identical type can differ meaningfully in intrinsic value. Ancient users almost certainly knew this and weighed rather than counted.
