| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in bold high relief with finely detailed hair and full beard arranged in thick, flowing locks. The laureate wreath is prominently depicted with individual leaves discernible across the brow. The portrait displays the characteristic robust, mature physiognomy associated with the Olympian deity as struck at Elis, reflecting the artistic tradition of the sanctuary coinage. The coin is bordered by a beaded inner circle, and the flan presents the characteristic irregular round form typical of hammered silver issues of this period. |
