| Reverse description | Standing cult statue of Heracles depicted nude in frontal pose upon a rectangular base or plinth, turned slightly to the right, with his right arm raised and resting on his hip; the hero leans upon his club, which is draped with the Nemean lion's skin, positioned to his side. The civic ethnic legend ΚΩΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying this as an issue of the citizens of Cos. The image likely reflects a locally venerated cult statue of Heracles worshipped on the island. |
