| Obverse description | Bare head of Herakles facing right, clad in the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and the forepaws knotted at the neck. The rendering is in the bold, vigorous style characteristic of Ionian civic coinage of the early Hellenistic period, with pronounced facial features and a naturalistic treatment of the lion skin. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend or border visible on this face. |
