| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded head of Herakles facing right, clad in the scalp of the Nemean lion, the jaws of which frame his forehead and crown. The rendering is bold and vigorous, with deeply modelled curls of hair and beard executed in a refined Classical style characteristic of Koan coinage of the mid-fourth century BC. The lion skin is clearly delineated, with the mane rendered in flowing, layered locks. The field is plain. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kos operated under shifting political pressures throughout the mid-fourth century, caught between Macedonian expansion and the residual influence of the Second Athenian League. The magistrate name Phileanax appearing on this issue places it within a brief administrative window when Koan coinage underwent a deliberate reassertion of civic identity — the didrachm weight standard itself a conscious alignment with broader Aegean commercial norms rather than Persian-influenced fractions.
HGC 6, 1305 treats this as a scarce type. The Copenhagen specimen remains the primary reference point for die comparison.
