| Beschrijving voorzijde | Eagle with fully spread wings facing right, depicted in the act of seizing and carrying a hare in its talons; the raptor's powerful plumage is rendered in fine archaic relief. A small owl is visible to the upper left of the eagle, set within the open field. The composition fills the flan with dynamic energy characteristic of the finest Elean die-cutting of the classical period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 87th Olympiad fell in 432 BC, the same year construction of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia was reaching completion — the structure that would house Pheidias's chryselephantine statue of Zeus, later counted among the Seven Wonders. Staters issued by the sanctuary at Olympia were not civic coinage in any conventional sense; they were tied to the games and the religious authority of the site, struck at irregular intervals rather than as continuous municipal output.
HGC 5, 322 places this among the earlier Olympian stater types, predating the more standardized issues of the fourth century.
