| Obverse description | Youthful head of Herakles facing right, depicted in three-quarter relief, clad in the Nemean lion's skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and knotted beneath the chin. The finely engraved facial features display an archaic Greek artistic style, with the lion's mane rendered in detailed parallel strands framing the hero's visage. The field is plain and unlettered. |
