| Obverse description | Youthful head of Heracles in right profile, beardless, wearing the Nemean lion skin headdress with the scalp drawn over the crown and the forepaws knotted at the throat. The modelling is accomplished, with fine rendering of the facial features and the naturalistic flow of the lion's mane framing the face. A beaded border surrounds the field. |

| Reverse description | Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned left on a low throne, his nude torso draped at the waist, holding an eagle on his extended right hand and a long sceptre in his raised left hand. In the left field, a lion leaping left serves as a mint control symbol; below the throne, the letter A appears within a wreath as a secondary control mark. The Greek legend ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ runs along the right field. |
