| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Herakles facing left, depicted in the Archaic-Classical tradition, with the scalp of the Nemean lion drawn over the cranium, its forelegs knotted beneath the chin. The portrait is rendered in low relief with broad, summary facial features characteristic of small Hellenistic bronze coinage from the Dodecanese. The flan is slightly irregular, with the design centered within the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kos maintained enough political agility during the third century BC to avoid the worst of the Successor Wars, aligning opportunistically with the Ptolemies after Ipsos. This small bronze was almost certainly struck under that Ptolemaic patronage period, when the island's mint was active and its harbor commerce robust enough to demand fractional coinage at this weight.
