| Obverse description | Youthful, beardless head of Herakles facing right, laureate with a wreath of laurel leaves, the Nemean lion's skin knotted at the throat with its paws draped across the chest. The modeling of the face displays characteristically Hellenistic refinement, with fine detailing in the hair and a smooth, idealized profile. The field is plain, with no legend present on the obverse. |
