| Obverse description | Facing left, the youthful head of Herakles rendered in archaic-to-classical Boeotian style, adorned with a lion's skin headdress whose scalp and mane are visible framing the hero's face. The modeling of the facial features is bold and slightly crude, characteristic of Theban bronze coinage of the fourth century BC. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription present on the obverse. The flan exhibits the irregular, compact fabric typical of hammered Boeotian bronzes of this period. |
