| Reverse description | Heracles standing in three-quarter view facing right, his weight resting on a club held in his right hand, while his left hand holds both the Nemean lion skin and the apples of the Hesperides. The figure is rendered in the heroic nude convention typical of provincial civic coinage, referencing the Pontic region's mythological associations with the hero. The ethnic legend of the issuing city is disposed around the field. |
