| Reverse description | A single grain ear (barley or wheat) depicted upright at centre, enclosed within a laurel or olive wreath tied at the base, symbolising the agricultural prosperity of Elaia as a major grain-trading port. To the left of the grain ear appears the letter Epsilon (Ε), representing the initial of the city-ethnic. Below the wreath, along the lower exergual area, the magistrate's or civic name ΖΩΒΙ (partial, likely ΖΩΒΙΟΣ or similar) is inscribed in Greek characters, identifying this issue within the civic coinage series of Elaia. |
