FERRARA Alfonso I (1505-1534) Quarto with beardless bust and title of Duke of Ferrara - Bellesia 4/C; MIR 270 AG (g 9.33) RR Good quality specimen accompanied by delicate patina. Samson, biblical hero of prodigious strength, represents resistance against oppression. His figure, chosen for the reverse of a coin, symbolizes the struggle for freedom and the victory of good over evil. His story, full of heroic deeds and betrayals, embodies the complexity of human nature and its ability to rise from adversity. The riddle he posed, "From the devourer came forth food, and from the strong came forth sweetness," underscores the paradox of strength that generates life and the fragility that can conceal great power. His tragic end, with the heroic sacrifice in the Philistine temple, represents the unrelenting struggle against tyranny and the pursuit of justice. Samson, with his superhuman strength and unwavering faith, is a reminder to those fighting for freedom and an inspiration to never give up in the face of hardship. - SPL/SPL+
