| Reverse description | A boldly modelled, high-relief figural composition depicts Hercules wrestling the Nemean lion, the hero grasping the beast from behind in a dynamic struggle that fills the coin's field. The denomination 1/2 LEK is inscribed vertically along the right field in large Latin characters. The mint mark L appears to the lower left, and the engraver's signature ROMAGNOLI is incised along the lower left rim. The muscular naturalism of the figures reflects the Neo-Classical Italian medallic tradition of the period. |
