| Reverse description | A large winged thunderbolt depicted vertically in the field, with elegantly curling volutes at the upper terminals and stylized downward-pointing flames radiating from the lower shaft. The thunderbolt, primary attribute of Zeus, is rendered with careful symmetry and fine detail, occupying the full extent of the reverse die. A retrograde Greek letter (digamma, Ϝ) appears in the left field, likely serving as a control mark. The incuse field surrounding the device is characteristic of the hammered coinage of Elis. |
