| Obverse description | Bust of Herakles in three-quarter profile, facing either left or right depending on die variety, enveloped in the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown and the forepaws knotted at the neck. The rendering is bold and archaic in style, with the lion's mane rendered in deeply incised strokes characteristic of early Macedonian bronze coinage. The flan is irregular, and the type is struck without a surrounding legend or border. |
