| Reverse description | Forepart of a bull advancing to right, head lowered in a charging posture, rendered in fine Hellenistic relief. A crater (wine vessel) is positioned in the left field, serving as a mint control symbol. Below the bull's chest, a trident head points to the left, a further subsidiary symbol associated with Samian civic iconography. An ear of grain rises diagonally in the right field. The ethnic legend ΣAMIΩN appears in the field, identifying the issuing authority of the island of Samos. |
