| Obverse description | Head of the hero Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp tied beneath the chin with the forepaws knotted at the neck. The portrait displays the characteristic youthful idealized features associated with Alexander III's coinage, rendered in confident high relief with fine engraving of the lion's mane framing the face. A beaded border encircles the design within the coin's irregular flan. |
