| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, depicted in the Macedonian royal tradition, wearing the characteristic Nemean lion's skin headdress with the scalp and mane rendered in fine engraved detail framing the face. The facial features are rendered with delicate Hellenistic artistry, conveying idealized youth. The field is plain, with a dotted border visible along the coin's periphery. The treatment of the lion's skin, with incised claw marks and layered pelts falling beside the cheek, reflects the accomplished die-cutting of the Pella mint workshops. |
