| Reverse description | A complex mythological composition depicting Heracles seated left upon a stool draped with the Nemean lion skin, being crowned by Tyche standing behind him to the right, who holds a cornucopia in her left arm. To the left, Apollo stands facing right, holding a plectrum and lyre, while Artemis stands nearby drawing an arrow from her quiver. The grouping of divine and heroic figures reflects the rich iconographic tradition of civic coinage from the cities of Mysia, emphasizing local religious and mythological associations. The reverse legend is disposed around the field in Greek characters. |
