| Obverse description | Bare head of Herakles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp covering the crown with the beast's jaws framing the hero's face and its forepaws knotted at the throat. The portrait displays finely modelled, idealized features consistent with the Lysippan tradition, with curling locks visible beneath the headdress. A beaded border runs along the coin's edge. The type conventionally serves as a heroic portrait of Alexander III, assimilated to Herakles. |
