| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered in fine high relief with masterful Classical Greek artistry. The god is depicted with a full, flowing beard rendered in detailed wavy locks, and long hair falling behind the neck in similarly naturalistic waves. A prominent olive or laurel wreath crowns the head, its leaves and berries finely engraved. The facial features are idealized and powerful, conveying divine majesty characteristic of the Elis mint's finest fifth-to-fourth century coinage. |
