| Obverse description | Facing right, the bare head of a youthful male deity, most likely Zeus or a heroic figure associated with the sanctuary at Olympia, rendered in fine archaic-to-early classical style. The hair is depicted in short, naturalistic curls swept back from the brow and temples, with a slightly idealized facial profile characteristic of Peloponnesian die engraving of the mid-4th century BC. The portrait occupies the full field of the flan, with no inscription or border present. The style reflects the accomplished craftsmanship associated with the prestigious Olympic sanctuary coinage. |
