| Reverse description | Forepart of a bull advancing to the right, rendered with muscular anatomical detail characteristic of late Classical Greek engraving. The magistrate's name HΓHΣIANAΞ is inscribed above the bull in Greek letters, while an olive branch appears to the left of the design. The ethnic ΣΑ and a monogram are placed below the bull's forepart. The entire reverse type is contained within a shallow incuse square, a hallmark of early Samian coinage. The composition reflects the standard civic and magistrate-attributed issue type of Samos during this period. |
