| Obverse description | Head of Zeus facing right, laureate, with long wavy hair and beard rendered in archaic Greek style. The portrait is depicted in profile occupying the central field of the flan. A cluster of pellets is visible to the right of the head in the field, a decorative element characteristic of Elean coinage of this period. |

To the right, a thunderbolt is visible in the field. The partial legend FΑ (or similar Elean ethnic abbreviation) appears around the design, consistent with issues of the sanctuary at Olympia. |
