| Obverse description | Laureate head of Zeus facing right, rendered in high relief with exceptional artistic refinement characteristic of the Elean mint at its peak. The god is depicted with a full, flowing beard composed of thick wavy locks, and long hair swept back from the brow and falling in undulating waves behind the neck. A wreath of olive leaves crowns the head, the leaves rendered with naturalistic precision. The portrait conveys majestic gravitas, with deeply modelled facial features including a prominent brow, strong nose, and parted lips, reflecting the influence of the great Olympian cult statue tradition. |
