| Reverse description | Nude Heracles standing to the right, engaged in his First Labour, forcefully strangling the Nemean lion whose body is pressed beneath him. The hero's muscular form is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition typical of Mysian civic coinage. The reverse type references the mythological associations cultivated by civic communities of the Pergamene conventus. The Greek legend naming the local strategos and the city of the Germenians is distributed across the field. |
