| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress tied beneath the chin, rendered in the Hellenistic style typical of issues from the Thracian city of Lysimacheia. The facial features are depicted with naturalistic modelling, the lion's scalp clearly visible over the crown of the head. The field is plain, with no legends or additional devices. |
