| Reverse description | An eagle with closed wings stands in profile to the left, depicted in a static, heraldic pose typical of Elean coinage. To the right of the eagle, a vine branch bearing a prominent bunch of grapes rises from the lower field, a symbol closely associated with the sanctuary and games at Olympia. The composition is clean and well-centred within the flan, with the ethnic abbreviation FA (digamma-alpha) appearing in the field. The reverse style reflects the accomplished die-cutting tradition of the Elean mint during the fourth century BC. |
