| Reverse description | Eagle displayed with wings spread and head turned to the right, standing on an olive branch or rocky ground amid foliage, rendered with bold, deeply cut feather detail. The powerful, frontal stance of the eagle — a symbol of Zeus and the sanctuary at Olympia — is characteristic of the Elean stater reverse type throughout the classical period. Olive sprigs with leaves and berries appear in the field to the left, referencing the sacred olive groves of the Altis. The flan is irregular and slightly broader than the die, with no legend or mintmark on the reverse. |
