| Reverse description | Forepart of a bull advancing to the right, rendered in vigorous relief with musculature carefully articulated; the animal's head is turned slightly, with horns clearly visible. A krater appears in the lower left field and an olive spray in the lower right field, both serving as Samian civic symbols. The Greek ethnic legend ΣΑΜΙΩΝ is inscribed in the upper field in clear, well-formed archaic Greek letters, identifying the issuing city-state of Samos. |
