| Reverse description | Eagle standing in three-quarter view to left, wings partially raised and folded, gripping a writhing serpent in its talons; the bird's head is turned downward toward its prey in a dynamic predatory pose. The feathers of the wings and body are rendered with meticulous engraving, conveying a strong sense of naturalism. To the upper left of the eagle appears the Greek letter digamma (F), and to the upper right the letter alpha (A), together forming the ethnic abbreviation FA for the Eleans. The composition fills the flan with confident artistry, the serpent coiling beneath the eagle's claws in vigorous, contorted loops. |
