| Reverse description | Three T-shaped symbols (tau or digamma forms) arranged pinwheel-fashion about a central point, their arms radiating outward to form a triskelion-like device that served as the civic badge of Cranii. The Greek ethnic inscription ΚΡΑ is distributed between the three arms of the device, with individual letters placed in the spaces formed by the rotating taus. The design is boldly incuse, typical of the hammered small silver coinage of Elis in the 4th century BCE, and fills the flat, irregular flan without a border. |
