Obverse description Bare head of Herakles facing right, clad in the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown with the beast's jaws framing the hero's face and its forelegs knotted at the neck. The portrait is rendered in confident archaic-to-classical style, with bold facial features, a pronounced brow, and well-articulated ear visible beneath the pelt. The field is plain and unlettered, the flan slightly irregular as typical of late fourth-century Ionian hammered coinage.
