| Reverse description | An eagle, the sacred bird of Zeus, stands to the right with wings closed and head turned sharply back to the left in a vigilant pose. The entire design is enclosed within a wreath composed of olive branches, alluding to the olive crown awarded to victors at the Olympic Games. The composition is bold and well-centered, characteristic of the high-quality engraving associated with the Olympian mint during the Classical period. |
