| Reverse description | A central poppy capsule on a tall stem flanked symmetrically by two upright ears of grain, the whole group forming a compact floral-agrarian emblem emblematic of the city of Elaea and its fertile agricultural hinterland. The ears of grain are rendered with fine parallel lines suggesting individual grains. The Greek legend ΕΠΙ ΑΠΦΙΟΥ ΕΛΑΙΤΩΝ, naming the local magistrate Apphios and the citizens of Elaea, is disposed around the type in the field and along the periphery of the flan. |
