| Reverse description | Frontal cult statue of Samian Hera standing, depicted in the archaic xoanon style with arms held close to the body and rendered in a rigid, hieratic pose. To the left of the statue appears a civic monogram and the prow of a Samian war galley facing left, referencing the maritime power of the island. The ethnic legend ΣΑΜΙΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city-state. The composition reflects the deep religious significance of the Heraion sanctuary at Samos and the pride of its naval heritage. |
