| Reverse description | Heracles, the city's divine patron and mythological founder, strides vigorously to the left in a dynamic pose. The hero is depicted semi-nude, raising his knotted club aloft in his right hand while grasping the multi-headed Lernaean Hydra in his left, referencing his Second Labour. The legend is distributed in the field around the central figure, enclosed within a dotted border, asserting Heraclea's proud neocorate status. |
