| Obverse description | Heroic male figure identified as Herakles striding vigorously to the right in the field, clad in the Nemean lion skin draped over his shoulders and left arm; his right hand is raised and grasps a club while his left arm carries a bow. The figure is rendered in the archaic Cypriot style with bold, somewhat stylized musculature characteristic of early fifth-century BC coinage from the region. |
