| Reverse description | A winged thunderbolt or eagle-and-thunderbolt device — here depicted as a striding eagle with wings spread to the right, rendered in relief against a plain field. Below the eagle, a linear ground line is suggested by the irregular flan surface. The ethnic inscription ΠYP appears in the lower field, serving as an abbreviated reference to the issuing authority of Olympia. The style is bold and schematic, consistent with bronze civic issues of the Elean sanctuary in the early Hellenistic period. |
