| Reverse description | Winged thunderbolt depicted frontally in the centre of a deep incuse square, with a pair of large volutes curling outward at the base and a pair of wings spreading symmetrically from the upper shaft. The flanking archaic Greek letters F (digamma) and A appear to the left and right of the thunderbolt respectively, representing an abbreviated ethnic of the Elean magistracy. The entire design is rendered in bold relief within the incuse field, consistent with the early hammered technique of the Archaic period. |
