| 背面描述 | Deep quadripartite incuse square divided into four equal recessed compartments by a raised cross, the result of the punch used during hammered production. The incuse is sharply cut and rectilinear, set within a slightly raised border, occupying the majority of the convex reverse flan. The four quadrants are plain and undecorated, consistent with early archaic Greek coinage convention. No legend or additional device is present. |

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.
