| Obverse description | Heroic head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion scalp headdress with the lion's mane rendered in rich, flowing locks cascading to the neck. The facial features are modeled in the idealized Hellenistic style, with a strong profile, prominent brow, and finely detailed ear. A border of dots encircles the design. The portrait follows the iconic Alexander III type established at the royal Macedonian mints. |
