| Obverse description | Youthful head of Heracles facing right, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp knotted beneath the chin, rendered in fine Hellenistic style with flowing hair emerging from beneath the pelt. The portrait is clean-shaven and idealised, conveying the heroic character of the demi-god. The effigy is set within a plain field bordered by a delicate beaded (dotted) circle near the rim. |
