| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized frontal representation of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, shown seated upon a grand throne and rendered in frosted relief against a matte background. The enthroned figure of Zeus holds a sceptre in his left hand and a small figure of Nike in his right, faithfully referencing the celebrated chryselephantine sculpture attributed to the ancient Greek sculptor Pheidias. The inscription STATUE OF ZEUS AT OLYMPIA appears in three lines to the upper right of the central design. A row of raised beads decorates the curved right edge of the puzzle-piece flan, echoing the border treatment of the obverse and linking this piece to others in the same interlocking series. |
