| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, wearing the characteristic lion's skin headdress with the scalp and jaws rendered in fine detail over the crown. The hero's idealized facial features are depicted in archaic-to-classical Greek style, with a prominent eye, well-defined ear, and curling locks of hair visible beneath the pelt. The feline paws are knotted at the neck. The coin's flan shows the characteristic irregular edge typical of hand-struck island coinage of the period. |
