| Reverse description | Heracles depicted standing facing, head turned to the right, nude but for the Nemean lion skin draped over his left arm and hanging at his side. His right hand rests upon a grounded club. The figure is rendered in a classical Hellenistic style with musculature carefully articulated. The reverse legend encircles the type in Greek, referencing the twice-neocorate status of Nicomedia. |
