| Reverse description | A bull advancing to the left in a dynamic striding pose, rendered with careful anatomical detail including a dotted collar or necklace ornament along the dewlap. An olive branch appears in the left field, while the ethnic inscription ΣΑΜΙ is placed prominently in the upper field. Below the bull's belly, a Samian amphora symbol is visible in the lower right field, serving as an additional civic badge. The composition is set within a square or irregular incuse field, consistent with the hammered technique of the period. |
