| Obverse description | Draped bust of Hera facing right, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style, wearing an elaborately decorated stephanos (crown) adorned with floral and palmette motifs. The hair is styled in loose waves beneath the diadem, with a small earring visible at the lobe. The letters F (digamma) and A (alpha) appear in the lower field flanking the neck truncation, serving as ethnic abbreviations for the sanctuary of Elis at Olympia. The portrait exhibits the idealised, serene quality characteristic of early Classical Greek coinage. |
