| Reverse description | Thunderbolt of Zeus depicted upright at center, with double volutes curling outward at the top and a pair of spread wings extending to either side at the base, rendered in crisp intaglio relief characteristic of Elean coinage. The Greek letters F (digamma) and A flank the thunderbolt to left and right in the field, serving as ethnic abbreviations for the issuing authority. The overall design is bold and symmetrical, occupying the full flan with minimal ground line. |
