| Beschrijving keerzijde | An eagle stands in three-quarter view facing left, wings raised and slightly spread, rendered with strong naturalistic detail in the feathers of the wings and body. The bird is depicted standing on a rocky or plain ground line, occupying the majority of the reverse field. The abbreviated ethnic inscription F-A (digamma-alpha, for FAleion, i.e. of the Eleans) appears in the field, flanking the eagle. The composition reflects the high-quality die engraving associated with the sanctuary mint of Olympia during the Classical period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 103rd Olympiad fell in 368 BC, a year when the sanctuary at Olympia was operating under unusual political strain. Elis, which had traditionally controlled the games and the mint, had been stripped of that authority by Sparta in 400 BC and then restored — the intervening decades left the coinage chronology of the sanctuary genuinely contested among specialists. Whether this hemidrachm was struck under Elean administration or during a period of external interference remains a point of scholarly disagreement tied directly to the dating of the BCD series.
