| Reverse description | Herakles standing facing, nude, holding his club upright in the right hand and the lion skin draped over the left arm; the figure is rendered in a schematic, provincial style typical of late Lucanian bronze coinage. The Greek legend HΡAKΛEIΩN is inscribed to the right of the figure, identifying the civic authority of Herakleia. The field shows considerable patination and surface wear consistent with circulation. |
