| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing head of a panther rendered in high relief, displaying finely engraved skin texture and prominent, deeply set eyes. The muzzle is broad and naturalistically modelled, with the mouth slightly parted. The design is framed by a square border composed of pellets, a distinctive artistic convention of archaic Samian coinage. No legend or inscription appears in the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samos was among the earliest Greek city-states to adopt coinage, and by the late sixth century BC the island's mint was producing well-established denominations tied to the Samian weight standard — distinct from the Attic and Aeginetan systems competing for dominance across the Aegean. The 510s BC place this piece squarely within the period of Polycrates' tyranny or its immediate aftermath, when Samos operated one of the most powerful naval forces in the Greek world and controlled significant Aegean trade routes.
HGC 6, 1994 places this type within a tightly grouped series with limited die variation recorded.
