| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing left, rendered in fine archaic-to-classical transitional style with deeply carved wavy locks of hair and beard falling in stylized curls. The god wears an olive wreath, symbol of the Olympic games, set above his brow. The portrait is bold and high-relief, characteristic of the skilled die-cutters working at the Elean mint. The field is plain and unadorned, focusing attention entirely on the powerful divine effigy. |
