| Obverse description | Youthful, beardless head of Heracles in right-facing profile, wearing the Nemean lion-skin headdress, the scalp drawn over the crown with the beast's jaws framing the face and its paws knotted at the neck. The facial features are rendered with fine Hellenistic naturalism, exhibiting a strong, idealized profile with well-defined brow, eye, and lips. The reverse of the lion's mane cascades in voluminous curls behind the neck, filling the left field. No legend appears on the obverse. |
