Beschrijving voorzijde Youthful head of Heracles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress, the scalp covering the crown with the beast's jaws framing the hero's face and forelegs knotted at the neck. The portraiture is rendered in the refined Hellenistic style characteristic of the Colophon mint, with delicate facial features, a slightly parted mouth, and carefully incised hair visible beneath the pelt. A fine beaded border frames the design.

Beschrijving keerzijde Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a backless throne, his nude torso turned slightly forward while his himation drapes across his lap and lower body. He extends his right hand to support an eagle with wings closed, and holds a long lotus-tipped sceptre upright in his left hand. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs downward along the right field. A monogram or control letter N appears in the left field, and the control mark Σ is placed beneath the throne. The composition is executed with confident die engraving typical of the posthumous Colophon issues.
