| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Herakles in three-quarter relief, clad in the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp drawn tightly over the crown with the forepaws knotted at the throat. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic naturalism, conveying youthful heroic strength. The lion's mane cascades boldly across the upper field, framing the hero's curling hair beneath. No legend appears on the obverse, the entire field being devoted to the iconic portrait type established by Alexander III. The die work is crisp and consistent with posthumous issues of the Macedonian coinage tradition. |
