| Obverse description | Head of Herakles facing right, clad in the lionskin headdress with the scalp knotted at the throat, rendered in the Hellenistic style characteristic of Ionian civic bronzes of the late 4th to early 3rd century BC. The mane and pelt are depicted with bold, deeply cut curling locks framing the face. A dotted border encircles the design near the rim. The die work, though worn, reflects the influence of Lysippan portraiture associated with Alexandrine coinage types widely adopted by Ionian cities. |
