| Reverse description | Zeus's thunderbolt depicted frontally at center, with two symmetrical volutes curling upward at the top and stylized flame or wing projections spreading outward below. Flanking the thunderbolt in the field are the letters digamma (Ϝ) to the left and alpha (Α) to the right, forming the abbreviation for 'Ϝ(αλεῖοι) Α(λεῖοι)' or serving as a magistrate's or workshop mark. The whole design is set within a slightly incuse square field on an irregularly shaped flan. |
