| 裏面の説明 | Incuse square of shallow relief with a dotted or beaded inner border, containing the forepart of a lion facing right in raised relief, rendered in the Archaic style with clearly delineated striated mane, open mouth, and large eye. Above the lion's head a lozenge-shaped ornament is visible. The incuse technique, standard for early Greek coinage, creates a recessed field around the central type, producing a strong chiaroscuro contrast that emphasises the finely modelled feline head. |

Samos in the late 6th and early 5th centuries BC was one of the wealthiest poleis in the Aegean, its prosperity built on maritime trade and a powerful navy that had, within living memory of this coin's striking, repelled a Spartan siege. The tetradrachm series to which this piece belongs was produced during an extraordinarily compressed window — the years bracketing the Ionian Revolt against Achaemenid Persian rule, which broke out in 499 BC and ended in catastrophic defeat at the Battle of Lade in 494 BC, after which Samos, having defected from the rebel fleet, was spared destruction while Miletus was razed.
That political calculation — Samian triremes breaking formation at Lade — almost certainly kept the mint operating.
