| Reverse description | A boldly rendered winged and flaming thunderbolt shown upright in the center of the field, its central shaft flanked by symmetrical voluted wings and flame tips issuing from both ends, the whole executed in high sculptural relief. The archaic digamma (F) appears to the left of the thunderbolt shaft and the letter alpha (A) to the right, together forming the abbreviated ethnic of Elis (FA for FALEIOI). The entire design is enclosed within a finely detailed olive wreath whose curling leaves and berries fill the circular border, referencing the sacred olive of the Altis at Olympia. |
