| Reverse description | A thunderbolt depicted in high relief at the center, its winged volutes and flame tips radiating outward in a bold, symmetrical composition, all set within a wreath of olive branches. The ethnic inscription Φ Α flanks the central thunderbolt shaft to the left and right, referencing the Elean sanctuary authority. The olive wreath encircling the design is rendered with finely detailed leaves and berries, consistent with the sacred significance of Olympia. The overall design is deeply and crisply struck, with the field showing a slightly granular surface typical of early classical silver coinage. |
