Stater

正面描述	Forepart of a recumbent bull to the right, head turned back to the left, rendered in bold archaic relief with pronounced vertical striations across the body conveying musculature. The animal's horns curve elegantly upward and the eye is clearly delineated. A diagonal row of pellets or beaded line extends from the lower left field, a characteristic decorative element of early Samian electrum coinage. The flan is broad and convex, with no legend or inscription.

附加信息	Samos was among the earliest Greek states to adopt coinage, and its electrum staters predate the island's subjugation under Polycrates — the tyrant who transformed it into a naval power before his execution by the Persians around 522 BC. The terminal date of this series corresponds almost exactly to that political rupture. The electrum itself was almost certainly sourced through Lydian trade networks rather than local deposits, Samos having no significant gold or silver mines of its own.
