| Obverse description | Eagle depicted in vigorous flight to the right, wings spread and strongly rendered with detailed feathering, its talons firmly clutching a hare. The composition conveys dynamic naturalistic movement characteristic of the high Classical period of Greek coinage. The design fills the broad, slightly irregular flan with no surrounding legend or border. |

| Reverse description | A winged thunderbolt (keraunos) depicted in profile at center, with outspread wings above and decorative volutes below, all contained within a shallow incuse square with a raised linear inner border. The bold geometric composition is rendered in relief against the sunken square field, a hallmark of Elean coinage associated with the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia. |
