| Reverse description | Heracles shown striding to the left in a dynamic, advancing pose, his muscular figure rendered in typical provincial style. The hero appears to carry his characteristic attributes, with the club discernible, consistent with standard Heraclean iconography on Bithynian civic coinage. The ethnic legend of Prusias ad Hypium encircles the field in Greek characters. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic hammered fabric with heavy patination. |
