| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Μ ΑΥΡ ϹΕΥ ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΝ ΑΥ (Translation: Emperor Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Augustus) |
| Reverse description | Heracles depicted standing to the left, actively engaged in strangling or subduing the Nemean lion, one of his canonical Twelve Labours; the hero's muscular figure dominates the field in a dynamic pose. A club, the characteristic attribute of Heracles, is shown to the right of the composition, resting upright. The reverse type deliberately evokes the city's divine patron, Heracles, after whom Heraclea Pontica was named. The Greek civic legend is disposed around the field, proclaiming the identity of the issuing community. |
