| Reverse description | Reverse depicts the sixth Labour of Heracles — the capture of the man-eating Mares of Diomedes. Heracles strides left, the Nemean lion skin draped about his neck, gripping by the head a rearing horse that faces right, while raising his club to strike. In the lower left field lies a fallen horse, and in the lower right lies the prostrate body of Diomedes, king of Thrace. The regnal year legend appears in the field. |
