Obverse description Right-facing heroic head of Herakles rendered in fine Hellenistic style, wearing the Nemean lion's scalp headdress with the lion's mane cascading around the face and the paws knotted at the throat. The portrait displays strong, idealized facial features with a prominent brow, well-defined ear, and slightly parted lips. The coin is struck within a beaded border, the flan exhibiting the characteristic irregular planchet shape of early Macedonian silver coinage. The reverse die is not visible on this face.
