| Obverse description | Bearded head of Heracles facing left, wearing the lion's skin headdress with the scalp and open jaws draped over the crown; the flowing mane and locks of the hero's own hair are rendered in high relief with fine detail. The portrait displays the bold, naturalistic style characteristic of late Syracusan coinage. A beaded border runs along the inner rim of the flan. |
