| Obverse description | Crude imitative head of Herakles in right profile, wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress, rendered in a barbarous style derived from the Macedonian prototype. The facial features are simplified and abstracted, with the lion's paws knotted at the throat visible in the field. The overall workmanship reflects local Arachosian die-cutting traditions, departing significantly from the refined Hellenistic original while preserving the essential iconographic elements. |
