| Reverse description | Nude, bearded Heracles standing facing, with head turned to the right. The hero rests his right arm upon his characteristic club set on the ground, while his left arm carries the Nemean lion skin draped over the forearm. The composition follows the canonical Farnese-type Heracles convention adapted for provincial bronze coinage. The Greek dedicatory legend of the Nicaeans encircles the figure in the field. |
