| Reverse description | An eagle displayed frontally at center, rendered with outstretched wings curling gracefully outward in a highly stylized, ornate composition characteristic of the Elean mint's finest work. The eagle's body is shown with elaborate scroll-like wing feathers and a prominent tail, creating a decorative, almost heraldic appearance. Surrounding the central device is a wreath of olive branches, referencing the sacred olive crown awarded to victors at the Olympic Games. The digamma (Ϝ) and alpha (Α) flank the eagle on either side, forming the abbreviated ethnic legend of Elis. The overall design is executed with exceptional artistic refinement befitting the prestige of the Olympic sanctuary. |
