| Reverse description | A dynamic mythological scene depicts Hercules subduing the three-bodied giant Geryon during the tenth labour, rendered in high relief against a polished field. Hercules, shown as a muscular, club-bearing figure wearing a lion-skin, stands triumphant over the fallen Geryon at lower centre, while the head and long horns of one of the sacred cattle of Geryon emerge prominently at upper left. An incuse inscription THE CATTLE OF GERYON appears within the upper field. The surrounding legend THE LABOURS OF HERCULES arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination 2 POUNDS is inscribed at the base, all separated from the central scene by a beaded border and a decorative Greek-key frieze. |
