| Obverse description | Bare bearded head of Heracles facing right, rendered in the characteristic leonine style with a thick, curly beard and coarse, voluminous hair, set within a beaded border. The portrait is unadorned, without the lion-skin headdress, emphasizing the hero's mature and powerful countenance. The field is plain, with no visible legend. |

He extends his right hand forward holding a purse (marsupium), while his left hand supports the caduceus. The ethnic legend of the issuing city appears in the field, incorporating a distinctive Ρ rendered in the form of the Sogdian letter Ϸ (a local epigraphic peculiarity), encircled by a beaded border. |
