| Beschrijving voorzijde | Youthful head of Heracles facing right, depicted with strong, idealized features in the Lysippan tradition. The hero wears the scalp of the Nemean lion as a headdress, with the beast's open maw visible above the forehead and its paws knotted at the neck. The hair is rendered in short, curling locks emerging from beneath the lion skin. The style closely follows the Macedonian royal coinage of Philip II and Alexander the Great. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kallatis, the Dorian colony on the Black Sea coast of modern Romania, issued billon coinage during a period when the city maintained enough commercial independence to run its own mint — unusual for a settlement so exposed to both Macedonian expansion and Scythian pressure from the interior. The billon alloy itself signals monetary stress: a deliberate debasement from silver, likely tied to the costs of maintaining fortifications and paying mercenaries during the fourth century.
AMNG I-I#202 places this among the earlier autonomous issues before Lysimachos absorbed the region into his sphere following the campaigns of the 310s BC.
